Preston boss Ryan Lowe is in talks with Dundee United goalkeeper Benji Siegrist in a bid to sign him on a free transfer.

Lowe wants THREE new shot stoppers and the highly rated Siegrist who started his career in England with Aston Villa, says The Sun.

Siegrist is out of contract and has also been watched by Celtic and Manchester United as cover but North End would give him the chance to be first choice.

The Swiss has impressed since joining the Tangerines from Vaduz in 2018.

He helped them to the Scottish Championship title in 2019-20, before easily taking to top flight football.

Siegrist, 30, played his part last term as Dundee United qualified for next season's Europa Conference League by coming fourth in the Premiership.
