Preston and Southampton chasing Premier League midfielder

Championship sides Preston North End and Southampton are reportedly interested in signing Crystal Palace midfielder Justin Devenny this summer.

Devenny joined Crystal Palace from Scottish outfit Airdrieonians in the summer of 2023 and he was able to break into the first-team in the 2024/25 campaign.

The Northern Ireland international has made a total of 60 appearances for Palace in all competitions and has weighed in with four goals.

His versatility has made him a useful squad player at Selhurst Park and he has featured in the centre of midfield, on the wing and at wing-back at various stages.

Journalist Alan Nixon has reported that there is interest in Devenny from within the EFL, as Preston and Southampton have joined Leicester in looking to sign the player.

Championship

The 22-year-old will be looking for first-team football and his chances at Crystal Palace could decrease as the club prepares for a UEFA Europa League campaign.

The Eagles are keen to strengthen their squad and Devenny may find himself as one of the victims of the club's recent success.

A move to Preston would be a good signing for the Lilywhites as they look to challenge in the top-half of the Championship next season.

Both Southampton and Leicester will be eyeing promotion in their respective leagues and they may see Devenny as a key part of the jigsaw.
