According to a report on The Real EFL website Peterborough United could be preparing to try and prise Owen Moxon away from Carlisle United.
It might be sheer speculation by an admiring sports writer, or there could be something more concrete in the information.
But the facts are Posh are having to prepare for another season of League One football after that amazing 4-0 lead giveaway against Sheffield Wednesday in the play-off semi-final.
That suggests a busy summer is likely on the horizon with a whole load of his better players sure to draw interest from elsewhere.
Darren Ferguson will be staying on-board as manager and he could have a rebuild ahead of him, so a number of targets will likely be on the radar already.
Now, The Real EFL has claimed that one of the players of interest to the Posh is Carlisle United’s star player from the season just ending in Moxon.
They claim that since returning to his home-town club after time playing in Scotland with Annan, Moxon has become arguably League Two’s best central midfielder.
The 25-year-old has managed six goals and 17 assists in 53 games across all competitions this season, helping fire Paul Simpson’s Cumbrians to a play-off final against Stockport County.
The article goes on: “Of course, it remains to be seen how the situation pans out, but one player who looks destined for pastures new is Jack Taylor.
“He’s been a star performer for Posh since signing and looks to have outgrown the club. It wouldn’t be a surprise at all if he moves to the Championship this summer and finding a replacement for him won’t be easy. Moxon could certainly fill that gap but you can’t see it being an easy deal to strike.
“Such a strong season with Carlisle United means he probably won’t go on the cheap. And, if the club win promotion, it will only be harder to tempt the club into selling and Moxon into leaving his hometown club.
“While Moxon could be an ideal signing, it feels as though there’s a fair amount that needs to fall into place for a deal to happen.”
If Carlisle United win at Wembley and join Peterborough in League One any proposed deal for Moxon is likely to be dead in the water.
