Ferguson confirmed the news on Saturday afternoon, announcing the arrival following their comprehensive pre-season victory over local side Bedford Town.

Speaking to the Peterborough Telegraph after the tie, the Peterborough United boss said there is still plenty to work on with Fernandez, but said he has some strong attributes. He said:

“We brought Emmanuel in from Ramsgate last season.

“He has a lot to learn yet, but he’s a good size, he’s quick and he’s good on the ball so he ticks a lot of boxes. He has plenty to learn tactically, but there’s plenty there to work on.”

The report confirms Fernandez has signed a two-year deal at London Road, keeping him there until the summer of 2023. A whole host of young talents have made their way through the youth academy, so it will be interesting to see if the 19-year-old can break into the first-team.
