Peterborough United defender Ronnie Edwards has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.
According to a report from football, insider, Southampton or keen on signing the 21-year-old defender, but they could face competition from Tottenham Hotspur. The report claims that Tottenham are watching him closely, but they might not pursue their interest any further.
It will be interesting to see how the situation situation develops. Edwards is highly rated in England and he has a bright future ahead of himself. He could be a quality long-term investment for Tottenham and he could develop into an important player for them.
Tottenham need more depth in the defensive unit and the 21-year-old seems like the ideal fit for them. He could be available for a reasonable price as well.
Edwards was chosen as the League One young player of the season last year and Tottenham could groom him into a quality Premier League defender in the near future. Although he might not be ready to make his mark in the Premier League, just yet, he would be a long-term investment and a transfer would be a gamble worth taking.
The 21-year-old has represented England at the under-20 level and he is likely to be tempted if Tottenham calling. It would be a huge step up in his career and he will want to test himself in the English top flight in the near future.
Meanwhile, Southampton will be hoping to beat Tottenham to his signature, and it remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
