Aston Villa is in the running for Peterborough United defender Ronnie Edwards, alongside West Ham United and Crystal Palace.

According to Sky Sports, Aston Villa is now vying with West Ham and Crystal Palace for the signature of Peterborough United defender Ronnie Edwards.

On Friday [5 January, 07:28pm], the broadcaster updated their live blog with information about the England Under-

20s captain, who is reportedly valued at an initial £4.5 million. The center back was heavily connected to West Ham

over the summer, and it was always anticipated that they would pique their interest again in the January transfer

window.

Finish it off

Edwards appeared to be close to joining West Ham last summer, but for whatever reason, the move fell through.

Five months ago, there was a lot of interest, so you would think United would be keen to sign the 20-year-old this month.

But the longer West Ham takes to act, the more interest he receives from other parties.

In addition to London rivals Crystal Palace, the Hammers also have to contend with the formidable Aston Villa.

Although it may seem expensive to pay £4.5 million for a player from the third division, Edwards is a highly regarded defender, as evidenced by the increasing amount of interest in him.

If Edwards showed up this month, he might not necessarily be a starter, but he is a long-term option.

It is imperative to finalize this deal as soon as possible if the interest is still present.
