The Gers were said to have made contact with the Shrimps regarding the 22-year-old wide player who was born in Dakar, Senegal, and raised in Spain where he spent time with Atleti as a youth.
Preston must now challenge Blackburn and Rangers in race to sign Carlos Mendes Gomes April 11, 2021
Many Preston fans will know the story of how the club missed out on Jamie Vardy.
To cut a long story short, Phil Brown wanted to sign Vardy from non-league side Halifax Town, the club wouldn’t pay the fee required, and Vardy went onto become a goalscoring sensation in the Premier League.
Since then, North End have generally done well when it comes to picking up talent from lower leagues, and Tom Barkhuizen is a great example.
Once of Blackpool, few really knew about Barkhuizen when he left Morecambe for Preston in the 2016-17 season, but he has gone on to become a key player at Deepdale.
