Aston Villa's Callum Robinson joins Preston North End on loan

Young Aston Villa striker Callum Robinson has joined League One side Preston North End on loan for a month.

The 19-year-old, who made five appearances from the bench for Paul Lambert's side last season, had been linked with a loan move away from Villa Park over the summer.

"He's a player we have watched a lot," Preston North End manager Simon Grayson told the club's official website.

"Villa hold him in high regard and that is why they have only just allowed him to come out on loan."

Preston North End will have the option to extend Robinson's loan deal if the striker is successful at Deepdale.
