Ferguson hopes to tie up permanent deal for on-loan striker

Preston North End manager Darren Ferguson will continue to press ahead with his attempts to sign Iain Hume on a permanent basis. Hume has scored twice in six appearances since the Canadian striker moved to Deepdale on a three-month loan from Barnsley in September. Talks have already taken place regarding a permanent arrangement for Hume and Ferguson is keen to keep the 26-year-old in his squad. "We keep saying it after every game, the boy's a good player," said Ferguson. "He gives you energy and a threat. He is a nuisance to play against and we are trying to get the deal done. "The chairman tried to do the deal yesterday (Wednesday), so we will keep persevering with it."
