📰 Next Stop Deepdale: Bournemouth’s Jebbison Joins Preston on Season-Long Loan…

 

Preston North End have officially completed the loan signing of promising striker Daniel Jebbison from AFC Bournemouth for the 2025/26 season. The deal includes a £2 million option to buy, signaling Preston’s intent to challenge at the top end of the Championship.

The 21-year-old forward, who made 38 appearances across all competitions for Bournemouth last season, will be hoping to secure regular minutes and showcase the talent that once made him one of England’s most exciting attacking prospects.

“We’re delighted to bring in Daniel,” said Preston manager Ryan Lowe. “He’s quick, intelligent, and hungry. This move is about giving him the platform to explode.”

🔍 Why Preston?

Sources close to the deal suggest Jebbison chose Preston over interest from Norwich and Stoke City due to assurances of a starting role and a long-term development plan that aligns with his ambitions.

“I had good conversations with the manager. He believes in my potential,” Jebbison said after signing.
“Now it’s up to me to repay that faith — with goals.”

📈 What Jebbison Brings
• Height & Physicality: Standing at 6’3”, he gives Preston a mobile target man.
• Pressing & Energy: Known for his relentless off-the-ball work under Andoni Iraola at Bournemouth.
• Big Game Mentality: Scored in key cup ties and earned praise for his mentality during injury crises.

💬 From the Bournemouth Camp

While Bournemouth were reluctant to let him go, club insiders revealed that the move was strategic:

“We still believe Daniel is a £10 million player in the making,” said a fictional Bournemouth technical director.
“The Preston loan gives him the consistency and spotlight to prove it.”

🗓️ Looking Ahead

Jebbison is expected to feature in Preston’s first pre-season match against Accrington Stanley on June 29. If all goes to plan, he could be leading the line when the Championship kicks off in August.

June 25, 2025 – Preston, England

Just days after sealing his move from Bournemouth, Daniel Jebbison is already making waves at Preston North End’s training ground in Euxton. According to club sources, the 21-year-old striker has “hit the ground running” — both literally and figuratively — during his opening sessions under manager Ryan Lowe.

“He’s sharp, confident, and has already scored five in training matches,” said an insider.
“You can see he’s come here to earn more than just minutes — he wants to dominate.”

⸻

🧠 Tactical Role Unveiled

Manager Ryan Lowe plans to deploy Jebbison as the focal point in a high-pressing 4-3-3 system, supported by attacking midfielders Alan Browne and Duane Holmes. The striker’s speed and ability to stretch defences could be key to Preston’s promotion ambitions.

“We want him running in behind, holding up the ball, and pressing like mad,” Lowe told club media.
“He’s more than just a poacher — he’s evolving into a complete forward.”

🗞️ Transfer Backstory: How Preston Beat the Competition

It wasn’t a straightforward deal. According to reports, both Norwich City and Stoke City submitted late offers, with Stoke proposing a £6.5M permanent deal. However, Preston’s pitch focused on:
• Guaranteed first-team football
• A clear development pathway
• Familiarity with the Championship
• A supportive, high-energy squad

“Preston showed they cared about me as a player and a person,” Jebbison reportedly told his agent.

🧬 What’s at Stake?

The loan includes a £2M buy option—a low-risk, high-upside gamble for Preston. If Jebbison delivers 10+ goals before January, sources say the club may activate the clause early to fend off other interest.

💡 Fact: Bournemouth are believed to have inserted a 25% sell-on clause, indicating their belief in Jebbison’s long-term value.

Interviewer: Club Media (fictional)

⸻

🗣️ Q1: Daniel, welcome to Preston North End. How does it feel to be here?

Jebbison:
Honestly, I’m buzzing. From the moment the club made contact, I felt like this was the right place for me. The staff have been brilliant, the lads have welcomed me, and I just want to get on the pitch and repay that trust.

⸻

🗣️ Q2: You had other options. What convinced you to choose Preston?

Jebbison:
It came down to the football. The manager showed me how he wants to use me, and it’s exactly the kind of system I think I can thrive in — high press, fast transitions, lots of movement. Plus, Preston is a club with serious ambition. I want to be part of that push.

⸻

🗣️ Q3: You’re only 21, but you’ve had spells in the Premier League and cup competitions. What are you hoping to prove this season?

Jebbison:
That I can do it week in, week out. I’ve had flashes — some big goals, some big moments — but consistency is the next step. I want to be a striker that a team can count on. Goals, assists, pressing, link-up — all of it.

⸻

🗣️ Q4: What’s the target for the season? Promotion? Personal goal tally?

Jebbison:
I don’t want to put a number on it yet — but trust me, I’m aiming high. As a striker, your job is to score. Simple. I want to hit double digits, help us win games, and hopefully push for promotion. That’s what this move is about.

⸻

🗣️ Q5: You’ve joined on loan, but there’s an option to make it permanent. Is that something you’d consider?

Jebbison:
If things go well, absolutely. Right now I’m focused on doing my part, but I’ve said it already to the manager — I’m not here just to “see it out.” I’m here to make a mark. If we’re winning and I’m scoring, who knows what comes next?

⸻

🗣️ Q6: Any message for the Preston fans ahead of the new season?

Jebbison:
Yeah — I’m here to work, fight, and give everything for the badge. I know the Championship is tough, but I’m ready. Let’s make Deepdale a fortress. See you all soon.
