Forest, Burnley, Ipswich interested in Treacy

Preston could face a battle to keep hold of
Keith Treacy this summer after he admitted he wants to play at a higher
level than League One.

The 22-year-old winger has been linked with moves to Ipswich, Burnley and Nottingham Forest following North End's relegation from the Championship.
Republic of Ireland international Treacy says he has discussed his future with manager Phil Brown, and admits he could be tempted by a switch to the Championship or even the top flight.
He told the Lancashire Evening Post: "We had a meeting and he's just put a price on my head and said, 'if it gets met, all well and good, we won't hold you back'.
"We'll have to wait and see now if a club is interested or what's
going to happen but I'm hopeful, yeah, because I want to play at the
highest level I possibly can.

"I feel maybe the Championship or
the Premiership at a push would be ideal for me. I think I'm a little
bit better than League One if I'm being honest."

"I feel maybe the Championship or the Premiership
at a push would be ideal for me. I think I'm a little bit better than
League One if I'm being honest."
Despite Treacy's claim that Preston have given him a price tag, the club's chairman, Maurice Lindsay, insists they are desperate to keep him at Deepdale.
Lindsay said: "We will only be letting players go if it suits us.
"I would be totally against Keith Treacy leaving, he is such an
exciting player on the ball and can be a prolific goalscorer from the
wing when he's on form.

Our only wingers are Anderson and McCleary

What about if Snodgrass leaves? Won't you need a left-winger?

He'd be quality, very good player in this league. Also quoted this because I was wondering if you knew what was happening with Tyson at all? Was heavily linked with us and another team, was it Ipswich or someone like that? I heard today though that we're no longer in contention to sign him though, same for this other club. Is he defintely leaving?
