Peterborough United have signed Chelsea striker Jimmy-Jay Morgan along with defender Tom O'Connor and winger Jacob Mendy from Wrexham on loan for the rest of the season.
Morgan has played for England at under-16 through to under-18 level and will be in the Posh squad for Tuesday's EFL Trophy game against Leyton Orient (19:00 BST).
He was on loan at League Two club Gillingham in the second half of last season, scoring twice in 16 games.
O'Connor, 26, has played 112 games for Wrexham since joining them from Burton Albion in January 2022.
Mendy, 28, can also play at wing-back and has won three caps for Gambia.
eterborough United have signed striker Harry Leonard from Blackburn Rovers for an undisclosed fee.
The 21-year-old has scored five goals in 36 appearances for Rovers, although only nine of his 32 in the league have been starts.
He is Posh's fourth signing on Monday's summer transfer deadline day following the arrivals of Jimmy May Morgan, Tom O'Connor and Jacob Mendy.
"I had a couple of options but I thought Peterborough was a perfect fit," Leonard told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.
"It's a really big decision (to leave Blackburn) and one I thought long and hard about but one I'm happy I've made."
Leonard's progress at Blackburn was hampered last season by a dislocated shoulder and then a back injury and he believes it will take him "a run of games" to get up to speed.
"I'd love to say I'm 110%, fully sharp. That's only going to come with playing regularly and hopefully I can do that here," he added.

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
