New goalkeeper at Peterborough

Peterborough United have boosted their goalkeeping department with the signing of Fynn Talley on a two-year deal. The 20-year-old, who is from London, has linked up with the Posh after leaving Brighton and Hove Albion earlier this summer. Their boss Darren Ferguson has told their club website: “I am happy with the goalkeepers we have at the club. Fynn has done well, he as a lot of potential. We have brought him in from Brighton and he has played a few games for us in pre-season.”

Wigan Athletic land defender

Wigan Athletic have brought back Kelland Watts from Newcastle United on a season-long loan deal. The defender had a stint at the DW Stadium a couple of years ago and has now returned to the Latics for another spell. Shaun Maloney’s side were relegated from the Championship alongside Blackpool last term.

He has said: “I’m obviously buzzing to be back. When it first came about, it was something that I was really looking forward to doing. The last time I was here, it felt like home, so it’s nice to be back home! Straight away, I felt the connection I had with the fans, and I hit the ground running.”

Oxford United bring in winger

Oxford United have landed Everton winger Stanley Mills on a temporary basis. The 19-year-old has been given the green light to leave the Toffees for the upcoming 2023/24 campaign to get some experience under his belt in the third tier. He has been on the books at Goodison Park since the age of 14 having previously played in the academy at Leeds United.
