Joe Anysinah, who impressed Hereford United supporters whilst on-loan at Edgar Street, could be leaving Bristol City.
The Western Daily Press has reported that Anyinsah is talking to Preston much to the disappointment of City boss Brian Tinnion.
"Joe told me on Tuesday night that he would be in on Wednesday to sign his contract," said Tinnion. "But I got a call this morning to say that he was speaking to Preston.
"He's been here since he was eight and did very well for us when he played last season.
"If he leaves we would be looking for a decent amount of money in compensation."
