Aston Villa action revealed in £10m Peterborough race with Crystal Palace and West Ham

The League One club have put a £10 million price tag on the youngster, according to The Independent, showing how highly rated Edwards is.

It’s been reported by The Sun that West Ham are also interested in the defender, and it’s set to be an interesting January with Edwards not short of options.

However, Villa are currently flying in the Premier League, finding themselves as genuine title contenders in second place. This means a move to the West Midlands would be a very attractive one for Edwards and would come with the potential of Champions League football next season.

Villa have plenty of options at centre-back, with the likes of Pau Torres, Ezri Konza, Diego Carlos, Tyrone Mings, Clement Lenglet, and Kortney Hause all on their books.

However, with none of the aforementioned players being younger than 26, the club must ensure they have top-quality players coming through ready to replace these players when they get older
