Peterborough United have signed Colchester striker Bradley Ihionvien on a three-year contract while Manchester City defender Jadel Katongo is returning to London Road for a second season-long loan spell.
Katongo, 19, was a regular feature in Peterborough's side last season, making 43 appearances - including their EFL trophy win against Wycombe Wanderers at Wembley.
"I am buzzing to be back. I really loved my time at the club last season so when the opportunity came to return, it was something I was really excited about," Katongo said, external.
Ihionvien, 20, joins having signed a two-year deal with Colchester in October 2023.
He scored four goals in his 29 League Two games for the U's last season.
"He is a young player that we have been monitoring over the last 12 months. He played against us in pre-season and he performed like we expected him to do," Posh manager Darren Ferguson said, external.
"He has pace, he is strong and left-footed, which is slightly different to the strikers we have."
"He is a player with a lot of development in him and I am excited to work with him."
Meanwhile midfielder Donay O'Brien-Brady, 20, has agreed a new three-year deal, while defender and academy graduate James Dornelly has signed fresh terms on a four-year contract.
O'Brien-Brady has featured in all three of Peterborough's games this season, while Dornelly, 19, made his fourth League One appearance for the side during their 4-1 victory against Shrewsbury Town.
