Skysports.com understands that American goalkeeper Matt Pickens is on trial at Preston North End.
Pickens is currently on the books of Chicago Fire, but he has rejected a new contract with the MLS club.
He is keen to secure a move to England and is understood to be training with Alan Irvine's Preston squad.
Irvine is looking to increase his options at Deepdale as he seeks to steer Preston out of Championship relegation trouble.
But, should Pickens impress, the Lilywhites could face competition from divisional rivals Norwich City for the 25-year-old.
