Posh target permanent Thorpe deal

Peterborough manager Mark Wright is keen to make loan signing Lee Thorpe's move a permanent one.

The Swansea striker has had his stay at London Road extended for a second month and has been cleared to play in Posh's FA Cup tie against Burton Albion.

Peterborough are now expected to buy the 29-year-old when the transfer window opens in January.

"Mark has identified that he would like Lee on a permanent basis," said Posh director of football Barry Fry.

"So we are hoping we can persuade Lee to sign for a couple more months on loan before we can make things permanent."

Thorpe joined Swansea from Bristol Rovers last February, but is behind Lee Trundle, Adebayo Akinfenwa and Paul Connor in the striking pecking list at the Liberty Stadium.
