Peterborough owner Darragh MacAnthony has whet the appetite of Nottingham Forest fans on Twitter when quizzed about Harrison Burrows.

The talented performer is set to become a wanted man this summer. Posh were relegated from the Championship last season and Burrows is unlikely to be playing in League One.

Some pretty loose rumours were doing the rounds yesterday. They suggested that Burrows might be on the verge of a move to Forest in the near future.

The 20-year-old is a product of the youth academy at Peterborough. He made 40 appearances for the club last season, scoring three goals and claiming seven assists.

Burrows would be a useful addition to the Forest ranks. He typically operated at wing-back last season, with 27 of his outings coming on the left.

Steve Cooper is likely to be shopping for two left-sided defenders. Max Lowe has returned to Sheffield United and Jack Colback could be required in midfield next season.

Burrows looks to fit the bill nicely. He managed to get some great exposure to men’s football last season and even helped himself to a few assists in the process.

Peterborough face a losing battle to keep him. Grant McCann will be desperately hoping the club can but MacAnthony might not be able to resist those millions if they’re on offer.

McAnthony quizzed on Burrows and Forest should swoop

Signing the youngster won’t be easy. He has a contract until 2024 and even then the club has an option to extend that by a further year.

The lure of Premier League football could be telling though. Furthermore, Burrows might look at Forest as a club where he will continue playing regular first-team football.

MacAnthony has been somewhat cryptic on Twitter. Yesterday a fan asked him whether or not there was any truth in the rumours that Forest were keen and if so, what was the valuation.

The owner of the club provided a jovial response; choosing three emojis, to sum up how he felt in response to the line of questioning.

Forest could get themselves a real gem in Burrows and following MacAnthony’s tweet, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
