Peterborough have confirmed their interest in Nottingham Forest’s Jorge Grant, sparking speculation he could be used as a makeweight in a deal for Jack Marriott.

Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony last night admitted the League One side’s liking for Grant, describing their interest as “no secret”.

MacAnthony was asked if there was any truth in the rumour Grant could be used as part of a swap-deal for the sought-after Peterborough striker Marriott, either on loan or a permanent move, which he neither confirmed nor denied.

Forest are keen on signing a frontman this summer, with Marriott high on many Championship clubs’ wishlists after netting 33 goals last season.

And Forest have something to offer in return if they’re willing to part with Grant, who excelled on loan at neighbours Notts County last term.

The 23-year-old winger scored 19 goals and set up nine more in all competitions for the Magpies as they finished in the League Two play-off places.
