POSH have missed out on the signing of Ebbsfleet striker John Akinde.
Akinde yesterday joined Championship side Bristol City for £150,000 to the disappointment of Posh manager Darren Ferguson who had been tracking the striker for months.
Ferguson said: "John rang me last night to say he had decided to join Bristol.
"He said it was a football decision based purely on the chance to play at a higher level.
"I'm disappointed because we were chasing him for a long time and I am convinced he would have been a great signing for us.
"Strikers are not a priority for me, but when one of John's quality becomes available I will always be interested."
Ferguson has until Monday's transfer deadline to freshen up his squad. He has not ruled out a further venture into the transfer market, but declined to say what positions he was interested in strengthening.
