Earlier today, the72 reported that Peterborough United had confirmed the signing of Leeds United defender Tyler Denton on a season long loan.
Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony took to Twitter this morning to share the news with Posh fans. Here is a look at his tweet:
Delighted to announce signing of LB young Starlet @TyDen6 from @LUFC on a season long loan. 2 great LBS in the building now with young Lewis backing them up. Squad Strength important.

It’s been a huge summer for Peterborough United so far, quite the opposite of Leeds United who have only signed two players since the transfer window opened.
Tyler Denton is expected to be the first choice left back for Posh as they look to mount a promotion push in Sky Bet League One, and will compete with fellow new signing Colin Daniel for the starting spot.
Leeds United fans will be hoping that this piece of business that has been done between the two clubs will open up the door for Posh’s star men Jack Marriott and Marcus Maddison, both of whom have been long term targets for the Yorkshire club.
Peterborough United fans are often quite vocal on Twitter, and it was no different after the confirmation of Denton’s move.
Here is a look at what a select few of them had to say:
This Posh fan is surprised with the signing of Denton…
Why have we signed a dwarf as a left back ? thought we were going for a "land of the giants" as a team #pufc

Former Leeds boss Steve Evans is currently in charge of Peterborough United, and this supporter does not think he will be happy with the latest signing.
Steve Evans said Andrew Hughes was the best LB in the league. We've signed a guy from another L1 club, and a loan player (despite saying no loans). Doesn't sound like this is what he wanted to me #pufc
