Preston boss Grayson pleased with deal for Villa striker Robinson

Preston North End have snapped up Aston Villa striker Callum Robinson.

The 19-year-old forward has linked up with the League One club on a 32-day youth loan.

Preston manager and former Villa player Simon Grayson said: "It is no secret that we have needed another striker in.

"He's a player we have watched a lot. Villa hold him in high regard and that is why they have only just allowed him to come out on loan.

"He has a great attitude, is pacy, tricky and can play down the middle or wide in a three. He is an England international and we have beaten a lot of other clubs to his signature.

"We are very grateful to Paul Lambert for allowing him to come here and hopefully it will benefit Villa, the player and of course ourselves."
