Preston are set to send striker David Healy out for a shock loan deal to Norwich City. Preston are to loan out striker David Healy to Norwich to get the striker back in ship shape condition.

Healy has been out of form for a few months now and has lost his place to Ricardo Fuller and Richard Cresswell and now with new loan capture George Koumantarakis in from FC Basle there seems no room at the inn.

Preston chairman Derek Shaw told local BBC Radio Lancashire station "I think the football management team want to get David to win his confidence back.

"We've signed one or two more players recently, and he probably feels that he's slipped back a little bit, and the decision's been made to loan him out for a month." Shaw also added
