Barry Fry told the Peterborough Telegraph that the Blues are one of several clubs tracking the 31-year-old.

Blackpool, Shrewsbury and Lincoln also reportedly have Grant on their radar.

Fry revealed the Posh have given the London-born talent permission to speak to a club, although a fee has yet to be agreed.
