DONE DEAL: Peterborough boss Ferguson welcomes Chelsea fullback Sturge

Peterborough United boss Darren Ferguson has welcomed new signing Zak Sturge.

The fullback arrives on-loan from Chelsea. Sturge is the second teenager to join in the last two days after Jadel Katongo's move from Manchester City.

"We have managed to get Jadel and now Zak into the building, two quality loan signings," boss Darren Ferguson said.

"When you make a loan signing, it has to be the quality that we are after and fit into the age of what we are trying to do.

"He is athletic, quick and anyone who watched the game last season between Posh and Chelsea would have seen the quality he brings.

"He can play left back, left-wing back and a left-sided centre back in a three and fits into what I am wanting to do in terms of different formations."
