“Long may it continue” – Exclusive: Robbie Brady issues verdict on Preston North End teammate linked to Sunderland
Liam Millar has arguably been one of PNE’s stars this season, but the looming threat of the Black Cats could mean he isn’t at Deepdale in 2024-25
Preston North End’s recent form has put them in a strong position to contend for a play-off spot in the Championship.
Liam Millar’s impressive performances have caught the attention of other clubs, including Sunderland.
Kian Best, a young defender for PNE, has shown promise and received praise from Robbie Brady.
With 14 games left to play in the Championship season, Preston North End are very much set to have a say in the play-off race.
The Lilywhites were in the same boat last season, as with five matches to go they were level on points with sixth place.
A run of just one point from a possible 15 though ended their hopes and dreams with a whimper – Ryan Lowe will be hoping to go better in the final third of the current campaign and they’re certainly in a rich vein of form.
PNE have won three matches on the spin and racked up 13 points out of a possible 18, pushing them to level on points with Coventry City in sixth position and making their supporters dream of an unlikely Premier League promotion once more.
Robbie Brady’s Liam Millar admission amid Sunderland transfer links
One of North End’s stars this season has been Liam Millar, who was rather unproven in British football before returning to the country late on in the summer transfer window.
The Canada international winger was developed at Fulham and Liverpool, going on loan spells away from Anfield at Charlton Athletic and Kilmarnock before moving overseas to Basel of Switzerland in 2021.
After two full seasons there, Millar returned to England with PNE on a loan deal, but his performances, as well as his four goals and five Championship assists, have caught the attention of other clubs.
