Alex Davey: Chelsea defender loaned to Peterborough

Alex Davey has yet to make a first team appearance for Chelsea

Peterborough United have signed 20-year-old Chelsea central defender Alex Davey on a one-month loan deal.

The Scotland Under-19 international goes straight into Dave Robertson's squad for Posh's opening League One clash away at Rochdale.

Davey played 13 games in League One last season after a loan spell at Scunthorpe United.

"Alex is a centre back that I have been tracking for a number of years," Robertson told the club website.

"I am over the moon to get a player with that quality and defensive attributes into the building to support the squad," he added.
