Preston reveal offer for Parkin
Sam Parkin
Parkin was injured for most of last season
Preston North End have confirmed they have made an offer for Ipswich Town striker Sam Parkin.

Fellow Championship sides Luton and Coventry are also believed to be keen on the 25-year-old 6ft 2in forward.

"Parkin is a player we've made an offer for. He's one of a number of people we've chased," Preston chairman Derek Shaw told the Lancashire Evening Post.

He added: "But it isn't £200,000, like it has been reported. I wouldn't like to comment on what the figures are."

Parkin has been hampered by injury since his £550,000 move from Swindon Town to Portman Road in June 2005.

He has made only 17 League starts and scored five goals in that period.

The striker was then left out of new manager Jim Magilton's squad of 16 for the opening-day defeat by Crystal Palace.
