Michael Olakigbe: Brentford winger joins Peterborough United on loan

Michael Olakigbe was a stoppage-time sub for Brentford in their FA Cup defeat by Wolves on 16 January

Peterborough United have signed Brentford winger Michael Olakigbe on loan for the rest of the season.

The 19-year-old has made 12 appearances for the Bees this season, but his only start came in the League Cup against Newport County last August.

He is contracted to his Premier League parent club until at least 2028, having agreed a new deal in November.

"I am delighted and lucky to get him," manager Darren Ferguson told the Peterborough website.

"He is a very talented boy, he can play off the right, off the left, he is quick, direct and exactly how we want our wide players to be.

"He knows four or five of our players, he has been in an England squad with Ronnie (Edwards) and played with Jadel (Katongo) too. He will be an exciting signing for us."

Peterborough are currently third in League One, having reached the play-offs last season, and will be at home to Wigan Athletic on Saturday.

"I really like the way that the team play, it really suits my style and that was important when making the decision on where to come out on loan," Olakigbe said.
