Striker David Nugent has insisted he wants to remain a Preston player - at least until the end of the season.

Nugent is expected to attract bids from Premiership clubs when the transfer window reopens in January

But the 21-year-old said: "I like the speculation but I'm a Preston player. I want to stay here and try to get us into the Premiership.

"In an ideal world I would like to stay at Preston. At the very least I'd like to stop to the end of the season."

He added: "But I'm happy at Preston and want to get them to the Premiership."
