Fulham's £:1million signing from Orient in 2006, Gabriel Zakuani, will be joining Peterborough United on a permanent deal in January. The 22-year-old defender has been on loan with the League One outfit since the start of September.

"Gabi has been excellent since he came here on loan and has been a big part of our unbeaten run," Ferguson told the club's official website. "He is an out-and-out defender and has formed a good partnership with Craig Morgan."
