Hide AdPeterborough director of football, Barry Fry, told the Peterborough Telegraph he doesn’t see a move for the 29-year-old developing.
He said: ‘He’s not a player that’s been mentioned to me and I don’t expect that to happen because of Alfie’s age.
‘We don’t tend to sign strikers that old. He’s a good player who scored two great goals against us, but I suspect, because our gaffer signed him before, some think we would be interested again.
‘Anyway we don't know who our manager will be next season. When we do I will have more idea who we want to try and sign.’
