Preston North End have signed Leo Leroy from Basel and Ipswich Town's Harry Clarke for undisclosed fees to take their summer signings to six.
Both defender Clarke and French midfielder Leroy have agreed three-year deals with Preston, who begin their Championship campaign at Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.
Clarke, 25, came through the youth set-up at Arsenal before joining Ipswich in January 2023 and was part of their side which won back-to-back promotions from League One to the Premier League in 2023 and 2024.
He told the club website: "I can't wait to get started and show the North End fans what I can do."
Leroy, 26, played in Ligue 1 for Montpellier before spending the last two years in the Swiss Super League with Basel.
Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom said Leroy will bring quality, calmness and experience to what he hopes will be a promotion push at Deepdale.
"He's a good technical player, with great experience and someone who's comfortable getting on the ball in deeper positions, but also someone who likes to join the attacks as well," he added.
