Peterborough had an offer to sign Leicester City utility man Josh Knight rejected in January – but they will try again in the summer.

The League One club’s owner Darragh MacAnthony tweeted to say a bid was submitted during the transfer window last month as Peterborough looked to make Knight’s loan deal permanent.

While he claims City were not interested in a transfer, he said he would have another go in the summer, with centre-back turned central midfielder Knight impressing fans, team-mates and staff alike at the Weston Homes Stadium.

After a Peterborough supporter asked if the club were interested in signing Knight permanently, MacAnthony replied: “Made a bid in Jan but Leicester not interested in that discussion so will try again in the summer.”

Knight is in his second loan spell with the Posh, who currently sit in the League One play-off places, two points outside the automatic promotion spots.

The 22-year-old, who hails from Fleckney, first joined the club on loan in January after extending his contract at City to 2021.

Last summer, he signed for the club on a season-long loan. He has scored three goals and provided four assists in 24 matches across all competitions.
