According to Expressen, Preston North End are monitoring 20-year-old attacker Jalal Abdullai, who is currently playing for Molde on loan from IF Elfsborg. The report states that Middlesbrough are also interested in the player, having followed him closely during his time in Norway and now feel they have enough evidence to justify a transfer. Preston believe Abdullai would be a good addition for their squad, and his impressive performances in the Eliteserien have strengthened the belief that he could succeed in the English second division.
