According to Sky Sports News, the Villans are one of several teams vying for Peterborough United defender Ronnie Edwards.
Aston Villa is reportedly being pursued by Crystal Palace and West Ham in addition to other teams.
According to the report, Peterborough is seeking “sizeable add-ons” in addition to an upfront payment of £4.5 million for Edwards.
According to The Independent, Posh is seeking a total price tag of £10 million for their highly sought-after player.
Villa are currently on a high. Now that they are vying for the Premier League title, it is an excellent time for them to try and sign talented players and prospects.
Peterborough, meanwhile, has established a solid reputation as a treasure trove. Edwards appears to be the next big thing in Posh talent, too.
In fact, it’s said that England U21 manager Lee Carsley will watch Edwards during Peterborough’s FA Cup third-round match against Leeds.
Edwards, who is only 20 years old, has already made 116 appearances for the League One team.
He’s a sophisticated centre back who can play out from the back, stay calm when handling the ball, read the game well, and be dangerous when attacking.
According to a 2021 article in The Sun, Sir Alex Ferguson pushed the Red Devils to try and sign him. Edwards is that talented.
Could Villa now thrive where Manchester United has failed? One of the most exciting players in the EFL could be brought to the Premier League by Unai Emery and company.
