Town boss Mick McCarthy says Preston manager Simon Grayson jokingly put a £4 million price tag on striker Jordan Hugill after the 24-year-old Blues target netted a late equaliser the sides drew 1-1 at Deepdale. McCarthy is understood to have had bids of £1.5 million and this week £2 million turned down for the former Port Vale man.
Town target Jordan Hugill netted an 89th minute equaliser for Preston as the Blues drew 1-1 at Deepdale, Tom Lawrence having given the visitors a first-half lead with another brilliant strike.
