Peterborough United striker Leon McKenzie has apologized after making a remark to a supporter at Wycombe on Saturday.

The former Crystal Palace man hit back when he heard a comment from a Posh fan during their 2-1 win over Tony Adams' side.

"A fan said something during the second half and I wasn't feeling it and I said something back," said McKenzie.

"I reacted badly and I would like to apologise for that.

"I was frustrated at the way things were going and I am sorry for what I said," he told the club's official website.

Peterborough won the game with a late goal from Richard Logan.

Staying with McKenzie

Norwich have had a bid accepted for Peterborough striker Leon McKenzie.

The player agreed terms on a three-and-half year deal on Thursday and will complete the move on Friday subject to passing a medical.

"Several Division One clubs and others have been pursuing Leon over recent months," McKenzie's agent Tim Webb said.

"The opportunity to join such a massive club as Norwich was not to be missed.

"Leon was very impressed with Nigel Worthington, the club's ambitions and facilities and looks forward to scoring goals in the bid for Premiership promotion."

Peterborough's website reported the deal was worth £625,000, with a 15% sell-on clause included in the deal.

Manager Barry Fry said: "The deal happened very fast. I accepted a bid from Norwich on Thursday morning after talking it over with my directors and Leon.

"Leon rang me to say that he had accepted terms and he is delighted with the move.

"I think it is a great deal for Peterborough United as he could have walked away for nothing at the end of the season."

The 25-year-old has scored 12 goals this season and has been linked with a move to Reading and Wigan after turning down a new deal at London Road.

McKenzie will not play against Cardiff on Saturday so could make his debut in next Sunday's local derby against Ipswich at Portman Road.

Norwich striker Leon McKenzie has described his move from Peterborough to Carrow Road as a "dream come true".

The 25-year-old completed a £325,000 move from London Road to the Canaries last week.

"When a club like Norwich show interest in you and then make a bid it's a dream come true," he said.

"It's a step up again, but once I settle in and with good players and coaching staff around me, I don't think it will be a problem."

His first match could be Sunday's derby clash at Ipswich, which McKenzie says he will relish.

He added: "I can't wait for it to be honest. It's a massive game for the fans and I know how much it means for them."

The striker was also quick to stress he is not coming to Carrow Road as a replacement for Darren Huckerby, who has returned to Manchester City after a three-month loan spell.

"Darren is a talented player and he's done a great job for Norwich and hopefully we might be able to get him and add him to the squad in the future," said McKenzie.

"I'm not here to replace him. I am coming to do my thing and just be Leon McKenzie."
