Hugill is still a Preston player yet online sources were suggesting that Preston were set to make a move for Bolton's Gary Madine to replace Hugill.
This was despite the club rejecting an offer in the region of £8 million, refusing a transfer request and reiterating the player is not for sale. It seems people were happily replacing Hugill with Madine before any deal had been done to se the Preston striker leave.
It seems that any link with Madine is wide of the mark and it would be unexpected if a deal was done before the deadline given the movement that would have to take place.
