Brentford have signed Peterborough United defender Benjamin Arthur.

The 17 year-old has penned a three-year contract with the Bees.

Brentford B coach Neil MacFarlane said: “Benjamin is somebody who is highly thought of, and we've seen him recognised at youth level for England.

“We're really excited to bring Benjamin into the club because he's a real prospect. He comes to us at a terrific age, and he will come into our environment where we will push him relentlessly to get better every day.

“He has a huge presence on the pitch, he will suit our style of play, and we believe our games programme will be fantastic for his development in the coming seasons."
