Aston Villa receive £10m transfer boost as Premier League claim made
latest Birmingham Aston Villa newslive as defender Ronnie Edwards of Peterborough United is rumored to be on Unai Emery’s team’s wish list.Ronnie Edwards, a defender for Peterborough United, is reportedly of interest to Aston Villa.
Having participated in virtually every minute of the Posh’s League One campaign thus far, the 20-year-old has shown promise in central defense this season. After 25 games, Peterborough is presently ranked third in their division.
And now Villa is said to be the latest side interested in signing Edwards according to the Mail on Sunday. Fellow Premier League sides West Ham and Crystal Palace are also said to be interested, with the latter reported to have had three bids rejected for him.
It has been previously claimed by the Independent that Peterborough is holding out for £10million for the defender. The high price is reported to be because Barnet have a 50 per cent sell-on clause.
The fact that Edwards only has 18 months left on his contract is apparently one issue for Palace. If he is permitted to return on loan until the end of the season, there is reportedly opportunity for discussion.
In center defense, Villa presently has Clement Lenglet, Diego Carlos, Kortney Hause, and Ezri Konsa available. Tyrone Mings is not likely to play again until the next season due to a knee injury he suffered in Villa’s season-opening match against Newcastle. Pau Torres is sidelined with an ankle injury.
