Preston January transfers and net spend: Every confirmed signing and sale for Paul Heckingbottom's side in 2026 winter window

After enjoying a strong first half of the season, Preston North End are currently dreaming of playing top-flight football for the first time since the 1960-61 campaign.

However, those promotion ambitions may have been tempered by a poor run of form, winning none of their previous four league fixtures and a lack of activity in the winter market

When the window slammed shut on Monday evening, the Lilywhites had made just three signings, as well as extending Jamal Lewis's stay at the club until at least the end of the season.

Besides a few squad players leaving on loan deals, Mads Frokjaer-Jensen was Preston's most notable departure, with the first-team regular departing for a respectable fee to Brondby IF.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Preston's confirmed ins and outs during the 2026 January transfer window, as well as looking at their net spend and latest transfer rumours.
