Preston North End is one of three Championship clubs interested in signing Troyes left-back Ismael Boura this January. Blackburn Rovers and Hull City are also pursuing the 25-year-old, whose performances in Ligue 2 have attracted attention. It is understood that all three clubs have made it clear they are keen on a deal for the defender. He has a contract with the French side until the summer of 2027. It is not known what fee would convince Troyes to sell before the 2 February transfer deadline, or if the Comoros international would be interested in a move to English football.
