3 soon-to-be free agents that Peterborough United should consider this summer

Peterborough United have had a poor season this year and look set for relegation as they sit bottom of the league ten points away from safety. 

Despite some good results of late, their form remains too inconsistent and it seems like the damage from across the whole season has already been done.

As they approach the summer, Peterborough will be looking for new signings to strengthen their side in the hope that they have a better season next year.

Here, we take a look at three soon-to-be free agents who Peterborough may want to consider in summer.

Chris Gunter 

Peterborough are potentially going to need to be looking at defensive options this summer with the possible departures of young stars Ronnie Edwards and Benjamin Mensah.

It has been reported that both players were subjects of interest to teams higher up the pyramid. Barry Fry assured that Edwards would not be a cheap player to take away from Peterborough and a bid of £200,000 from Tottenham for Mensah was rejected in January.

However, if Peterborough are in League One next season they may find it hard to turn offers down for at least one of these players and given Edwards is 18 and Mensah 19, the youngsters themselves may feel they want to leave and carry on playing at a higher level rather than potentially getting stuck in a lower league.

Therefore, Chris Gunter may be an appropriate replacement.

Although he is now 32-years-old he has played 18 times for Charlton in League One this season showing he is still capable of playing at this level.

Under Charlton manager Johnnie Jackson, Gunter is unlikely to have a role in his side as he looks for the player to be more attacking minded but he could do a job at Peterborough as an experienced right-back.
