Ronnie Edwards, an England junior star, is contacted by Everton, who is prepared to cash in.
According to The Boot Room, Everton has approached Peterborough in an attempt to capture highly-regarded defender Ronnie Edwards this summer.
After months of rumors tying their star player to a transfer to the Premier League, the League One team is finally prepared to cash in on him, according to a news source article published on their website on June 25.
The Toffees have taken action to recruit the 21-year-old, although they will have competition from Southampton, Brighton, and Newcastle United.
Before a sale, is Everton looking to replace Jarrad Branthwaite?
Right now, Everton’s center back situation is a little disorganized, with James Tarkowski being the only guy who looks like he’ll be around when the season kicks off.
Jarrad Branthwaite has been subject of a bid from Manchester United, which was rejected, but they are preparing a second bid [Daily Mail, 22 June]. Michael Keane and Ben Godfrey are entitled to leave if the offer is right as they enter the final 12 months of their deal, and Mason Holgate has no future at Goodison Park.
With so much uncertainty around the position, it seems natural that the club would be eyeing new faces at the back and Edwards fits the criteria as captain of the England Under-19’s team.
