Peterborough United director of football Barry Fry has revealed that Town have accepted a Posh offer for striker Kieffer Moore, but that a deal is not yet a fait accompli.

“We have had a bid for Kieffer Moore accepted by Ipswich,” Fry told Peterborough Today. “But there are a lot of add-ons attached which our chairman might not fancy.

“We believe Moore playing alongside Jack Marriott with Marcus Maddison supplying the crosses would be formidable in League One.

“Moore has done well for Rotherham this season and obviously they also want him so we will have to wait and see.”

It’s speculated that the initial fee is £250,000, although that would appear unlikely as it’s understood Rotherham have offered a figure which would eclipse their record fee of £500,000, coincidentally paid to Posh for midfielder Jon Taylor in August 2016.

Moore, 25, who was recalled from his loan spell at Rotherham at the start of the month, is also interesting a number of other League One clubs, including Charlton, Scunthorpe, Bradford and Wigan.

Speaking last night, manager Mick McCarthy wouldn't comment on developments regarding Moore - "I can’t tell you anything" - but he confirmed that if the striker features for Town he can’t play for anyone else other than the Millers this season due to FIFA’s three-club rule.

“That’s correct, or stay with us,” he said. “He can’t play in the cup anyway. That gives us a bit of thinking room, I guess.”
