Preston supervisor Ryan Lowe has admitted he’s hoping to safe Sepp van den Berg‘s providers for an additional season, with the membership already in talks with Liverpool.
Van den Berg is nearing the top of his second spell with North Finish, having spent the second half of final time period at Deepdale earlier than agreeing a season-loan change this time round.
The Dutchman has gone from energy to energy within the Championship, and after 57 appearances for Preston thus far, he now stands as a viable senior centre-back.
Whether or not that would be the case at Liverpool stays to be seen, although assistant supervisor Pepijn Lijnders has already recommended Van den Berg will at the very least participate in pre-season coaching this summer season.
If Lowe had been to have his means, nevertheless, the 20-year-old would return to Preston for a 3rd mortgage, telling LancsLive of his hopes for Van den Berg, together with Leicester‘s Daniel Iversen and Aston Villa‘s Cameron Archer.
“In the end, I’d’ve thought that, due to the best way they’ve been with us, in the event that they had been out there once more, we’d take them in a heartbeat,” he defined.
“So would different golf equipment most likely, however the benefit we might have is them having been right here earlier than and the way we go about our enterprise.
“If that turns into out there, for them to go on mortgage, I’d wish to suppose we’d be No. 1 precedence.”
On Van den Berg, Lowe mentioned: “With Sepp, Liverpool had been in right here the opposite day for a full day, watching what we do and the way we go about it.
“We’re involved with them however once more, it’s all the way down to Sepp and what he desires to do.”
The participant himself has already solid doubt over the possibilities of an prolonged keep at Preston, telling LancsLive in February: “You by no means know, however I reckon after this season that it, sadly, has to come back to an finish.”
A lot will rely on Liverpool’s plans, and the choices out there to Van den Berg had been he to maneuver on from Anfield, although there’s a probability a spot opens up in Jurgen Klopp‘s squad.
Joe Gomez will enter the ultimate two years of his contract this summer season, and having performed solely 14 occasions thus far this season, it isn’t out of the realms of chance that he would push for an exit.
If that’s the case, Van den Berg may characterize a ready-made alternative, with Lowe taking a practical strategy to the state of affairs together with his three Premier League loanees.
“We positively must plan for the long run with out them till instructed in any other case,” he concluded, “as a result of they aren’t our gamers.”
