# Exclusive: Barry Fry says Peterborough resigned to selling Jonson Clarke-Harris

**Barry Fry has exclusively told [The Transfer Tavern](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/) that Peterborough United will be forced to sell [Rangers target](https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sheffield-united-clarke-harris-rangers-5243027) Jonson Clarke-Harris this summer.**

The 26-year-old is already a man in demand having scored 31 goals last season to help Posh end their long wait to bring Championship football back to London Road.

Clarke-Harris, who notched 33 goals in all competitions, has [interest](https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sheffield-united-clarke-harris-rangers-5243027) from several second-tier sides, although Scottish Premiership champions Rangers are also [keen](https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sheffield-united-clarke-harris-rangers-5243027) on the ex-Bristol Rovers frontman.

Steven Gerrard reportedly [sent scouts](https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sheffield-united-clarke-harris-rangers-5243027) to London Road to watch the striker play against Accrington Stanley in March, and he impressed by scoring a hat-trick in their 7-0 victory.

Peterborough sold Ivan Toney this time 12 months ago, with Clarke-Harris likely to join a long list of goalscorers that Posh have lost to bigger clubs in recent seasons.

And despite scoring the goals which saw the club promoted, Director of Football Fry told **The Transfer Tavern** that whilst he would love to keep Clarke-Harris, they’re resigned to losing him in the coming months:

*“How can you stand in their way, because it not only affects their life, it affects their families, their parents and grandparents. It is life-changing and we must do it.*

*“Obviously, we would like to keep all our players – Dwight Gayle, Britt Assombalonga, Ivan Toney, Jack Marriott – what a team we would have had. We would have had 10 centre-forwards and no defenders!”*
