Leicester City are set to loan out goalkeeper Daniel Iversen next season, who joined Preston North End on loan in January.
Iversen, 23, started the season out on loan at Belgian outfit Leuven. He’d make just five league appearances for the club though and Leicester City would recall him, and send him to Preston.
Since, the Dane has featured 19 times in the Championship for the Lilywhites but now, Alan Nixon writes in The Sun on Sunday (18.04.21, pg. 67) that Iversen will go out on loan again next season, and that he has a ‘host of admirers’.
He’s proved a consistent performer in an otherwise struggling Preston side. Iversen has kept six clean sheets in his 19 Championship appearances, with Leicester wanting him to go out on loan and keep the likes of Danny Ward and Eldin Jakupovic as back-up to Kasper Schmeichel.
There’s no suggestion as to who Iversen’s admirers might be, but a Championship loan seems the likeliest outcome given his showing for Preston in the second half of this season.

Preston sit in 17th-place of the Championship table after yesterday’s goalless draw v Stoke City.
They also remain managerless having parted ways with Alex Neil last month, with Wycombe Wanderers boss Gareth Ainsworth reported to be in contention for a summer move to Deepdale.
It could prove a shrewd appointment, and it could also prove a contested one. How Preston might fare next season remains anyone’s guess but whoever the manage might be, they should certainly look at bringing Iversen back.
That might be difficult given the reported interest in the Dane, but it’d be a good piece of summer business for Preston.
