That’s the most recent from journalist Alan Nixon, who says the Lilywhites are definitely trying to push for the contract, even if it would be an ambitious one.
Nixon thinks that Low’s present club, who would undoubtedly be eager to maintain a hard position on their key players during their bid for promotion in League One, may sell him for about £750,000.
Football League World exclusively revealed a few days ago that Swansea had previously submitted an offer to acquire Low’s services, but the Chairboys’ management rejected it.
Days later, Swansea manager Luke Williams confirmed it in an interview, saying: “I need to catch up with the chairman. I don’t know exactly where we are in terms of bids being rejected. However, we do like him as a player.
The door is open for either PNE or Swansea to sign a contract because, according to Nixon, Wycombe is ready to cash in on Low for the appropriate price and has identified Lloyd Jones of Charlton as a possible replacement.
The Wales international defender Low was sent out on loan to hone his skills after rising through Bristol City’s youth but never making a significant impact on the first squad.
It was clear that his six-month loan with Walsall was sufficient for Wycombe Wanderers to recruit him to a long-term contract in the summer of 2023.
Despite Wycombe’s dismal 2023–24 season, which saw them end 10 points outside the playoffs, Low was one of their more promising players and was frequently chosen by Matt Bloomfield to start at center-back.
This season, however, things have taken a turn for the better, as Wycombe currently sit second in League One on an incredible 51 points after 24 games, and have shocked most in the third tier of English football.
Low has continued to play a crucial role for the Chairboys, having started all 24 of their League One games so far, contributing to a total of eight clean sheets in that spell.
The defender has even chipped in with four goals this season in the third tier, which highlights his dominance in both boxes. It is no wonder that Championship clubs are keeping an eye on him right now.
There is no harm done in signing another talented centre-back this winter for Preston North End, even after a deal was done for Plymouth Argyle’s Lewis Gibson this past week.
The Lilywhites currently sit seven points above the drop zone and 10 points away from the play-offs, so the first objective is to secure safety and then see how high up the table they can finish.
In their 26 Championship games, they have conceded 34 goals, which is far from dreadful, but there is evidently room for improvement at the back.
Gibson is a start for the left-hand side of the back three, but Low would also be a superb signing for Preston if they can get a deal done, although you would have to question the future of Liam Lindsay, who is out of contract at the end of the season.
The Lilywhites must think carefully before coughing up the supposed fee of around £750,000 that Wycombe will be asking for though, as other areas of the pitch will need to be looked at as well, such as the wing-back areas.
