But the Posh are now ready to sell the player after being relegated to League Two. Rotherham United and Nottingham Forest are reported to be interested, but a club spokesperson has revealed that the Tigers have made the first move.
The statement said: "Hull have made their interest in the player aware to us but nothing more has come of it yet."
City are said to be attempting to bring down Peterborough's asking price for the 24-year-old.
