Peterborough chairman Barry Fry says he’s hopeful that his club can fend off competition from the Blues and Crystal Palace to sign Dagenham and Redbridge winger Danny Green. The 22-year-old was first linked with Town early last month.
Fry, who is currently away at the Football League AGM in Cyprus, where Town chief executive Simon Clegg is representing the Blues, has already spoken to Daggers boss John Still about Green, who he hopes to recruit in the next few days: "We are aware that people like Ipswich and Crystal Palace are in for the boy as well, but we're very hopeful that might be concluded over this week."
Former Northampton and Nottingham Forest youth player Green dropped into non-league with Bishop’s Stortford before signing for the Daggers in May 2009.
Since then, the 6ft-tall Harlow-born midfielder has scored 27 goals in 93 starts and four sub appearances. Green, who has also been linked with Sheffield Wednesday, is contracted to the Essex side until 2013.
Elsewhere, former Blues loanee Giovani Dos Santos is reportedly a £4 million target of Sevilla. Spurs midfielder Dos Santos spent last season on loan at Racing Santander, recently saying that he would like to return there next season.
