Peterborough sign Man City prospect Susoho on loan

Mahamadou Susoho has played for England and Spain at youth level

Peterborough United have signed midfielder Mahamadou Susoho on a season-long loan from Premier League champions Manchester City.

The 18-year-old made his senior City debut as a second-half substitute in their 3-2 Champions League win at Dinamo Zagreb in December and has been on their pre-season tour to the United States.

Susoho has also played two games for their Under-21 side, against Grimsby and Bradford, in last season's EFL Trophy.

"I want to get out of my comfort zone and I feel this loan move will allow me to do that," he told the Peterborough website.

"I would describe myself as good in possession, calm and someone who can help the defence and the attack. I really enjoyed the tour in America with City and now I am looking forward to this loan move."

He is Peterborough's ninth summer signing ahead of their new-season opener at home to Huddersfield on 10 August.

"It was tied up a while ago, but we were just waiting on Manchester City in terms of the dates," said Peterborough boss Darren Ferguson.

"I think he is a big signing for us. He is going to add to our options in the middle of the pitch - we felt we needed a bit more depth in there."
