In the summer transfer window, Birmingham City, Preston North End, and Sheffield United are vying for the signature of Peterborough left-back Harrison Burrows.
Reporter Darren Witcoop claims that rival teams, including as the Blues, are now able to pursue the 22-year-old due to the Blades’ takeover scenario.
Burrows had a fantastic season for the Posh last year, winning the EFL Trophy and defeating Wycombe in the final thanks to goals from the left-back.
United also made it to the League One play-off semi-finals last season, where they were beaten by Oxford United over two legs.

Birmingham City join Sheffield United & Preston North End in Harrison Burrows pursuit
With Sheffield United looking to reset after relegation from the Premier League to the Championship last season, the left-back is one of the players they have been linked with this summer.
The Peterborough Telegraph believe that Burrows has already agreed terms with the Bramall Lane outfit, but because of the uncertain takeover situation at the South Yorkshire club, they cannot commit to transfers that include fees.
Meanwhile, Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson has admitted that it is likely Burrows will leave the club this summer.
However, it now seems as though Sheffield United may be facing some fresh competition in the race to sign the left-back, after Preston North End previously saw a bid for Burrows rejected.
Speaking recently, Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony revealed that a “huge” League One club, have joined a total of three Championship clubs in the race for the left-back.
Now, as per this latest update from Witcoop, it is indeed Birmingham who have entered the race to sign Burrows this summer.
