Peterborough United have reportedly agreed a deal to sign a defender from League Two side Crewe Alexandra.

The Daily Telegraph reported on Tuesday that Posh had multiple bids for versatile defender Rio Adebisi, a 23 year-old capable of playing in either full-back position or as a wing-back rejected.

But the same paper has now said a free has been agreed and Adebisi is set to have a medical at Posh before signing.

Adebisi made 136 appearances for Crewe Alexandra since making his first team in a League Cup tie against Aston Villa in August 2019.

He made 54 appearances for the Railwaymen last season, including all 46 League Two games for a team who went on to lose the play-off final to Crawley.

Adebisi is out of contract, but as an Academy product Crewe are entitled to ask for a compensation package and other clubs are interested.

Posh boss Darren Ferguson is likely to have to replace his entire first-choice back four from last season with Ronnie Edwards and Harrison Burrows expected to follow Josh Knight and Jadel Katongo out of London Road.
