Manager Darren Ferguson has revealed transfer interest in Peterborough United skipper Harrison Burrows has ‘accelerated’ in the last 48 hours.
Burrows was expected to play in Saturday’s behind-closed-doors friendly against West Bromwich Albion after a proposed transfer to Sheffield United dragged into a third week. Other Championship clubs and one ‘massive’ League One club have also been linked with bids for the 22 year-old left-back, although Preston North End ended their interest earlier this week.
United were still thought to be favourites to sign Burrows, but delays to an expected club takeover at Bramall Lane could lead to them being gazumped.
And unspecified developments prompted Posh to leave Burrows on the sidelines again in today’s 2-1 defeat at St George’s Park. He has yet to appear in a friendly this summer, although Ferguson has no concerns over his player’s fitness.
