Preston North End are emerging as the main contenders to sign Liverpool defender Sepp van den Berg.
The 19-year-old center back has been told he can go on loan before the closing of the January transfer window.
Per Football Insider, Preston are ahead of other Championship and European clubs in the race to sign van den Berg on loan.
A defender is a priority for Preston, and they have already re-signed left back Greg Cunningham from Cardiff City.
Van den Berg's immediate future is likely to be resolved in the coming days.
