Walsall have signed Erhun Oztumer on a two-year deal which will start on July 1 when his contract with Peterborough expires.

Oztumer is the Saddlers' second signing of the summer after they welcomed Kacy Milan Butterfield to the Banks's Stadium earlier in the month.

The 25-year-old attacking midfielder started his career at Charlton before enjoying spells with Turkish sides Manisaspor, Sivasspor and Anadolu Uskudar and returning to England to play for non-league Dulwich Hamlet in 2012.

Oztumer joined Peterborough in June 2014 and played 58 times over two seasons.

Speaking to Walsall's official website, he said: "It's brilliant to be here.

"It's been smooth and we've been speaking for a few weeks.

"I've come down here and I've been impressed with what I've seen and I'm delighted to put my signature on the paper.

"The attraction is the way Walsall play. Playing against them for two years, I like the way they keep the ball and play the game. I think it suits me so this was my first choice.

"Hopefully I can get a lot of assists. I'm a player who likes to feed the strikers and hopefully I can add some goals to the team as well."
