Peterborough United director of football Barry Fry has played down reports that the club are looking at Swindon Town attacking midfielder Scott Twine this summer.
The Sun (April 18, page 67) reported yesterday that the 21-year-old is on the radar of Darren Ferguson's promotion-chasing side, just weeks after Queens Park Rangers, Barnsley, Burnley and others were linked (per The Sun).
Twine has had a breakout season in the EFL, spending the first half of it out on loan at League Two side Newport County, where he scored six goals and notched seven assists in 19 league outings.
His long range strikes and creativity prompted a recall in January by struggling Swindon, and Twine has slotted into their midfield seamlessly, scoring five times in 21 matches but those goals haven't helped to get the Robins away from relegation danger.
With Twine's contract expiring at the end of the season, there's bound to be a big battle for the player's signature, but as of right now it doesn't look like Peterborough are involved.
Fry was quizzed on the possibility of Twine making the move to Posh this summer and he flat-out denied the speculation.
