Crystal Palace Renews Interest in Ronnie Edwards with a New Bid
1 min read
Crystal Palace has reignited its pursuit of Ronnie Edwards from Peterborough, a player initially targeted by manager Patrick Vieira in 2022. The club has recently submitted another bid for the 20-year-old defender, following their earlier attempt with a £4 million offer in September 2022.
Despite previous unsuccessful negotiations, that Crystal Palace is once again in talks to secure Edwards. However, Peterborough has already rejected the new bids, holding out for a transfer fee of £10 million. The League One side anticipates Edwards leaving Weston Homes Stadium this month, provided the asking price is met.
Throughout the current season, Edwards has made 25 appearances in League One, scoring two goals. Crystal Palace’s interest in Edwards suggests a proactive approach to bolstering the squad, especially with potential departures looming, such as Marc Guehi or Joachim Andersen in the summer.
In addition to pursuing Edwards, Crystal Palace has reportedly inquired about Valencia’s Cristhian Mosquera, providing the club with alternative options in defense. While the club is currently well-stocked with central defenders, the proactive approach indicates a readiness to address potential departures.
The situation surrounding Marc Guehi is of particular interest, with Arsenal reportedly keen on securing the defender in the upcoming summer transfer window. As developments unfold, Crystal Palace fans will be eager to see whether Edwards or Mosquera could potentially join the squad this month, possibly being loaned back for the remainder of the 2023/24 campaign.
