Preston North End made their first January addition last week in the form of Lewis Gibson.
The Lilywhites triggered the Plymouth Argyle man’s release clause and a deal was quickly wrapped up, with him penning a three-year contract at Deepdale.
What kind of defender is he?
CE: ‘At his best, Gibson is tremendous at anticipating danger inside his own penalty area and blocking shots. There would be some games for Argyle where he would do it repeatedly. He is a left-sided centre-back who is comfortable with the ball at his feet and can see a pass, and he is strong in the air when it comes to dealing with crosses from open play or corners. I would say he’s a good all-round defender.’
He was made Argyle captain for a reason, because he was respected by his team-mates. From my own personal perspective as ‘the local reporter’ I enjoyed interviews with him. He talks well and gives a thoughtful players’ view on various topics. Gibson has been at a number of clubs now, including a few loans, so I’m sure fitting into the group at Preston will not be a problem for him at all. I wish him all the best for the future.’
