The main contenders for the signature of departing Peterborough United star Archie Collins can now be named
The Peterborough Telegraph has been told four clubs have shown the most interest in departing Peterborough United star Archie Collins.
Portsmouth are the only Championship club among them. The others are League One big hitters Leicester City and Sheffield Wednesday, as well as Oxford United who will also be fancied to challenge for promotion next season.
League One side Reading have also been linked with Collins this week.
The situation with Oxford became more complicated when the club changed manager this week. Former Arsenal player Aaron Ramsey has replaced Matt Bloomfield at the Kassam Stadium.
Collins (26) is a free agent from June 30 when his Posh contract expires.
Collins played 159 times for Posh in three seasons following his move from Exeter City for an undisclosed fee in June 2023. He scored eight goals and will be the last regular player from the outstanding Posh side of the 2023-24 season to leave London Road.
