Preston North End have today announced the season-long loan signing of Danish international striker Simon Makienok and we’ve rounded up some of the best Twitter reactions.
The 25 year-old spent last season on loan at Charlton from Serie A club Palermo and the Italians have again sent the attacker away for the season.
The Lilywhites were always favourites to land the towering forward but Leeds did show a late interest in signing him.
A lot of Preston fans were happy to see the striker arrive at Deepdale and welcomed him to the club…
Makienok will be a good signing. Will take the pressure off Garner as being the target man and hopefully he can chip in with a few goals.

Admittedly, not exactly jumping for joy with Makienok. However, willing give him a chance! Could do miles better with us hopefully! #pnefc

While even some Charlton fans wished him the best at his new club, citing a poor atmosphere for his lackluster performances at the Valley…

Going to stick my neck out and say that in a positive environment at #pnefc Makienok will do alright. Hope he does anyway.

While Leeds United fans were happy that boss Gary Monk didn’t pursue him interest in the player…
