Peterborough United chairman on Ivan Toney’s summer transfer prospects and what Posh can expect to make
MacAnthony used his latest appearance on TalkSPORT to wax lyrical about a player Posh sold to current club Brentford in a package worth £10 million in August 2020.
Since then the 28 year-old has become a regular scorer in the Premier League and won his first senior England caps. He made cameo appearances for his country in the 2024 Euros.
But last season was a disappointment as Toney scored just four goals in 17 appearances for Brentford after returning from a long betting ban and reports now suggest the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have all cooled their interest in a player who could command a fee of £50 million, even though he’s about to start the last year of his contract.

The left-back underwent a medical with the Blades several weeks ago but a move was held up as a result of Sheffield United‘s prospective takeover reaching an impasse. However, it now looks as though this will no longer be an issue moving forward, with the South Yorkshire outfit ready to cough up the agreed money to finalise the deal.
Burrows had an excellent season for Peterborough United last season in League One, recording 16 assists and scoring seven times in 43 appearances despite primarily playing on the left side of a back four. His impressive displays at the Weston Homes Stadium have piqued the interest of a number of clubs in the EFL.
Former Derby County defender Lee Buchanan was the first-choice left-back for Birmingham City last season after he arrived at St Andrew’s following a brief stint in Germany for just under £1.3 million. However, it looks as though Davies believes that the club can use an upgrade on the 23-year-old.
