Football News Update: Interest Grows in Peterborough United Star Harrison Burrows for Euro 2024 and Beyond
Birmingham City have joined Sheffield United and Preston North End in the race to sign Peterborough left-back Harrison Burrows this summer transfer window, according to reporter Darren Witcoop.
The 22-year-old enjoyed an excellent campaign for Peterborough United last season, helping them win the EFL Trophy – with Burrows scoring both goals in their victory over Wycombe in the final. Peterborough also made it to the League One play-off semi-finals, where they were beaten by Oxford United.
“The uncertainty around Sheffield United’s takeover situation has opened the door for their rivals to make a move for the highly-rated left-back.”
Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson has admitted that it is likely Burrows will leave the club this summer, with the player’s contract set to expire next year. This means the Posh may be forced to cash in on the youngster to avoid losing him for free.
Birmingham City, who were relegated from the Championship to League One last season, are looking to bounce back and will see the signing of Burrows as a major coup. The Blues have already made four senior signings this summer, and the addition of the talented left-back would further bolster their squad.
With interest from multiple Championship clubs, the signing of Burrows would be a significant statement of intent from Birmingham City as they aim to secure an immediate return to the second tier. The player’s performances have also caught the eye of national team scouts, with potential opportunities at the Euro 2024 and upcoming FIFA World Cup tournaments.
The race for Harrison Burrows’ signature is sure to intensify in the coming weeks, as clubs jockey for position to secure the services of one of the most promising young talents in the EFL.
