Preston Swoop For Sunderland Striker

Stokes has been allowed to leave on loan after Roy Keane captured Cisse to boost Sunderland's firepower. Keane has been one of the big spenders throughout the summer leaving several players surplus to requirements.

One player who has found himself out of the firts team was Ross Wallace who has already joined the Whites on a year long loand and now it seems fellow Scot, Stokes will join Preston to add much needed firepower to their frontline.
