Josh Onomah is on his way to Preston North End to undergo a medical after agreeing to sign for the club, sources have told Football Insider.

Football Insider revealed earlier on Tuesday (31 January) that the Lilywhites were in advanced talks to sign the midfielder.

Onomah, 25, is a free agent after mutually agreeing to cancel his contract at Craven Cottage on Monday, as first revealed by Football Insider.

The former Tottenham man was in the final six months of his contract at Fulham and both parties agreed to cancel it early after the player grew frustrated at his lack of game time.

Onomah has made just two appearances for Fulham since their return to the Premier League, with Marco Silva preferring Palhinha and Harrison Reed in Fulham’s usual two midfield roles.

This comes after he played 22 times last season for the Cottagers, including eight Championship starts as the West Londoners secured automatic promotion.

Onomah was on the verge of signing for West Brom on deadline day in the summer but the move collapsed at the eleventh hour.

The midfielder has also spent time at Aston Villa and Sheffield Wednesday during his career, with the 48 league appearances made for both sides all coming in the Championship.

Preston, who are 11th in the Championship table, face Bristol City next Saturday (4 February).

The lancashire side have struggled for goals this season scoring 26 times in their 28 league games.
