Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom has lambasted his own club captain Ben Whiteman for “crossing a line” by attempting to force through a move to Wrexham during the summer transfer window.
The 30-year-old is a transfer target for Phil Parkinson as he looks to strengthen his midfield ahead of the new Championship season. The Red Dragons are keen to add another central midfielder to provide competition for Matty James and Ben Sheaf, with Whiteman viewed as one of the club’s leading targets.
