Preston North End have completed the signing of Ryan Ledson, the club's official website has revealed.

Ledson joins from League One side Oxford United for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal until summer 2021.

The 20-year-old is rated as one of the best young midfielders in League One, having decided to reject terms with Everton and join Oxford instead to play first-team football.

The former England youth international is now working his way back up the leagues, having played 80 games for the U's since his summer 2016 switch to the Kassam Stadium.

Ledson won Oxford's Player of the Year award this season but he has now left to join Preston, who finished just shy of the play-offs after a successful season under Alex Neil at Deepdale.

Already looking ahead to next season, Preston fans praised this early piece of transfer business.

Here are a selection of the best tweets following Ledson's signing.
