DONE DEAL: Aston Villa's Robinson heads back to Preston

Aston Villa have sent Callum Robinson on loan to Preston North End.

The 20-year old forward returns to Preston after a successful spell with the Lilywhites at the end of 2014 which yielded five goals from 11 appearances.

North End boss Simon Grayson was delighted to have the talented Robinson back in his ranks at Deepdale.

"I made no secret of the fact we wanted to bring back Callum," Grayson told the club's official website.

"He was just hitting top form in his last spell and he's a great lad to have around.

"He wants to improve; he's versatile and we are delighted he has chosen to come back to us when there have been Championship clubs who wanted to take him."
