Leeds United and Nottingham Forest are both believed to be keen on snapping up Jack Marriott.

Darragh MacAnthony has brushed aside reports that Jack Marriott could leave for £5 million in the summer.

Leeds United, Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest have all been linked with the red-hot striker ahead of the summer transfer window in the Daily Mail.

The report suggested that Posh would demand £5 million for the Football League’s top scorer, but it seems that the trio of Championship clubs will have to pay more.

Whether Forest, Leeds or Wednesday would be able to afford the sort of figures Posh want for Marriott remains to be seen.

Forest and Leeds have tended not to pay massive fees for players in recent times, while Wednesday are close to their FFP limitations.

All three clubs could be in the market for a goalscorer in the summer, though, after disappointing seasons this time around.

Forest, Leeds and Wednesday all look likely to finish in mid-table, and will surely be active in the next transfer window, as they look to put the quality in their squad to have a much improved campaign next time around.
