Peterborough United have signed Spurs teenager Kenny McEvoy on a season-long loan.

The 19-year-old winger links up with Darren Ferguson's side on youth loan terms and will go straight into their first-team squad to face Brighton in a pre-season friendly on Saturday.

McEvoy told the club's official website: "This is an opportunity for me to come and try and break into the first team and get some experience under my belt.

"It is my first loan spell so I just have to try and impress in training. It is good that I have been able to join in pre-season as I can get to know the lads before the season starts.

"I first heard of the interest a few weeks ago, but it has been quite a hectic time."

McEvoy, a Republic of Ireland Under-19 international, has yet to make a first-team appearance for Tottenham, but has been a regular in the Under-21 set-up.
