Preston North End willing to listen to offers for former Manchester United defender of Nigerian descent

Preston North End have published their retained and released list following the conclusion of the Championship season.

The Lilywhites have confirmed that American-Nigerian defender Matthew Olosunde is among the players retained for the 2022-2023 season.

However, Preston North End added that they are willing to listen to offers for the one-cap United States international, who is still eligible to represent Nigeria internationally.

Olosunde endured an injury-plagued campaign in the recently concluded season as he struggled with Achilles tendon and groin problems.

From a possible 51 matches in all competitions this season, the 24-year-old logged only 136 minutes spread across two matches.

A product of New York Red Bulls, Olosunde spent three years at Manchester United, 2016-2019, from where he moved to Rotherham United, and then Preston North End in the summer of 2021.

He was in the United States U17 team beaten 2-0 by a Nigerian side containing Kelechi Nwakali, Victor Osimhen, Samuel Chukwueze and Kingsley Michael at the 2015 Fifa U17 World Cup.
