West Ham United have made a bid for one of England’s top young talents it seems.

David Moyes has a really strong group of players at his disposal at West Ham now, but he clearly wants to bring in further reinforcements in January.

The Hammers boss could do with signing a young central defender, with Angelo Ogbonna set to turn 36 before the end of this season.

One player to have been linked with a January move to the London Stadium is Peterborough defender Ronnie Edwards.

And it seems like West Ham have already made a move for the 20-year-old centre-back…

Director of football claims West Ham have made a £4 million bid for his player

Peterborough Director of Football Barry Fry has spoken to Claret and Hugh about the Hammers’ interest in Edwards.

And Fry claimed that he has rejected a £4 million bid from West Ham for the talented young central defender:

“I was offered something by West Ham which was totally unacceptable and was later immediately offered £4 million now and £4 million by another Premier League club.”

I think Edwards is definitely someone who West Ham should be pursuing, and if we have to pay £8-10 million for him, then I think that would be good business.

In 12 League One outings, Edwards has averaged 1.6 tackles, 1.2 interceptions, 3.8 clearances and 1.3 successful aerial duels per game (Who Scored).

The Peterborough defender is a very good passer of the football as well. He’s averaged 80.8 passes per game and has recorded a completion rate of 90.5% (Who Scored).

He is a very solid defender but has real quality when in possession of the football as well.

Whether West Ham will make another bid for Edwards or not remains to be seen but I certainly think we should be looking to do exactly that.
