The in-form striker issued a statement through the club this afternoon (Tuesday) where he asked supporters to create a “family version of the song”.

The Posh forward said: “I want to thank the supporters for the way they have backed me since I arrived at the football club. It is great to feel loved by the fans.

“Whilst the song is not offensive to me, it would be great to hear a new family version of the song so all of the young supporters in the stadium can join in too.”
