Preston North End are in talks to sign Watford striker Andre Gray.

The 30-year-old is available on a free this summer, as his Hornets contracted expires at the end of June.

According to Football Insider, Gray is negotiating with Preston, and an agreement is close.

The forward was on loan at QPR last season, netting 10 goals in 28 games.

Preston boss Ryan Lowe is very keen to add firepower to his squad, and believes Gray will compliment his current forward group of Emil Riis, Ched Evans and Sean Maguire.
