Peterborough United boss remans tight-lipped on Liam Kelly move

Peterborough United boss Luke Williams has refused to comment on his side’s pursuit of Milton Keynes midfielder Liam Kelly.

MK boss Paul Warne has confirmed that a bid had been received for their Player of the Season in League Two last campaign and that it was swiftly rejected.

He told the MK Citizen on Saturday: “I do believe a bid came in, I don’t know how much for, but three things have to happen for a deal to go ahead. The player needs to want to go, the manager then allows him to go and the owner is happy with the bid. As it stands at the moment, I don’t think any of those are the case.”

Luke Williams was quizzed on the 30-year-old on Thursday but refused to give an update of Posh's pursuit or whether or not another bid was in the works.

He said: “I’ve known about this player for a number of years because he is a very, very good player. In fact, in my time at MK, we were really interested in him. I know him, hes very, very good but at the moment, he’s an MK player so I can’t say anymore than that. There’s no doubt he's very good for this level though.”

Posh are still light in the midfield area and have yet to sign a replacement for Archie Collins.
