Derby, who are 5-1 with Sky Bet to win the third tier title next season, signed Joe Ward earlier this week after the 27 year-old allowed his Posh contract to wind down.

Pompey are the only club to have paid a fee, an undisclosed amount for midfielder Terry Devlin from Northern Irish club Glentoran.

Posh were one of 11 clubs who had yet to sign a single player since the end of last season, according to the BBC.

Meanwhile Derby’s ex-Posh winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing is set to make his international debut for Guatemala in the CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament this summer.

The 31 year-old is eligible through his mother’s nationality. He was part of the Posh squad who won promotion from League One in the 2010-11 season.

He scored the 100th League One goal scored by Posh that season.
