Andoni Iraola has already told Preston North End what Daniel Jebbison must work on..

The former Watford and Sheffield United striker has joined PNE on loan
New Preston North End signing Daniel Jebbison has one key aspect of his game to try and improve.

That is according to AFC Bournemouth boss, Andoni Iraola, who handed the Canada international 16 Premier League appearances last season. Jebbison returned from a disappointing loan spell at Watford in January but stepped on to the first team stage with the Cherries, making several substitute outings. He scored in an away defeat to Manchester City and the Spanish coach discussed the striker post-match.

“I think Jebbo is finishing well also the season,” said Iraola. “He’s training well. Someone who has the physicality, probably he needs to improve the tactical side. He hasn’t been with us a lot so I think he’s getting better, in how we press, how we attack the spaces, how he can benefit from this kind of pressures.

“Our nines always have scored these kinds of goals, putting pressure on defenders, benefiting with these small mistakes. And I’m really happy for him because even if was very late, I’m sure for him has been a good thing.”

What Heckingbottom likes about Jebbison
It’s a straight loan deal which sees PNE manager Paul Heckingbottom reunite with Jebbison – the two worked together at Sheffield United, previously. After the big front man scored in an away win at Everton, in 2021, the then-Blades boss highlighted why Jebbison had been given his opportunity. Those comments offer a glimpse into what Heckingbottom will want from the striker this season.

“The biggest reason he was in the team was his running power to stretch their team and be in between the posts when we put the ball in the box,” said Heckingbottom. “The coaches have helped him develop in a short space of time.

“You can see the hard work and natural athleticism. He listens and learns. He performed his role excellently, without the ball. He’s scored the goal. He’s certainly played his part with and without the ball.”
