Newly-promoted Peterborough have agreed an undisclosed fee with Hereford for midfielder Toumani Diagouraga and a deal is set to go through.
Director of football Barry Fry has confirmed the bid has been accepted for the 22-year-old, and he will now meet with the French-born midfielder and his agent to discuss personal terms.
“
Toumani is a holding midfielder who breaks up play, but he is also a good passer of the ball," Fry told the Evening Telegraph.
"We tried to sign him last summer but as
Hereford were promoted with us he stayed with them. Darren Ferguson fancied having another go at him after Hereford's relegation last season and we have now had a bid accepted."
Fry added: "I'm speaking to the player and hopefully we will reach an agreement. It's another young, hungry player who will fit in superbly with the rest of the squad.
"Darren thinks he offers something different to the other midfielders at the club."
