Preston North End have made an enquiry into the availability of Liverpool youngster Connor Randall, which has been received positively by the Anfield club, the Mail report.

Jurgen Kloop is understood by the national newspaper to be willing to allow the Liverpool full back to go out on loan to gain more first team appearances, with Nathaniel Clyne the current established figure at the right side of defence and back-up offered by the more established figure of Andre Wisdom.

Randall made three first team league appearances last season, making his debut in Liverpool’s League Cup tie with Bournemouth in October, before facing the Cherries for his league debut in April.

He did okay during those appearances as stats provided by Opta show, not catching the eye with a 73% passing accuracy, a 2 successful tackles and three interceptions, but Klopp and Liverpool will know he will need more first team minutes if he is to challenge for a place in the first team squad in the near future.

Preston North End manager Simon Grayson is interested in Randall

Preston have had a stuttering start to the new season, sitting in the bottom three after five games in the Championship with just one win to their name, coming against QPR away at Loftus Road.

They lost their most recent encounter with Ipswich Town thanks to a late strike by their top scorer Grant Ward, and Simon Grayson will be determined to bolster his squad in order to push on and perform respectability in only their second season after promotion back to the division from League One.

Could Randall be a good signing for Preston?
