"Manchester City rate him highly," boss Darren Ferguson told the Posh website.
"We feel that he is ready for his first loan away from the club. He's very good on the ball, his stats are fantastic."
Ferguson added: "He can play in a back four or a back three and can also play at right-back, so he covers a lot of what we need and I am excited about his arrival."
