“I’m not convinced it’s the right move” – Tottenham in transfer chase for talented Championship player: The verdict

This article is part of Football League World’s ‘Terrace Talk‘ series, which provides personal opinions from our FLW Fan Pundits regarding the latest breaking news, teams, players, managers, potential signings and more…

According to Football Insider, Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur are stepping up their chase for talented 19-year-old defender Ronnie Edwards.

Edwards has featured 28 times for Posh in the Sky Bet Championship this season, which has reportedly attracted the interest of a host of several Premier League clubs.

The England under-19 international, though, is said to have been checked on regularly by Tottenham Hotspur of late, with the North London club seemingly leading the pack to try and secure his signature.

With that being said, we asked three of our writers here at FLW for their thoughts on the Football Insider report, whether Edwards would be a good signing for Spurs, and whether or not it was a good move for the 19-year-old to make at this stage of his career.

I’m not convinced it’s the right move for Edwards, if I’m honest.

Tottenham used to be a club where you could see young players moving there and getting a chance in the Premier League.

Albeit with serious talent, Dele Alli was the real example of that.

However, in recent seasons and after a handful of managerial changes, it’s not really happened regularly enough to justify someone like Edwards seeing it as a good career move.

Obviously, it’s a huge football club and it might be hard to turn down financially, but from a playing perspective, it’s probably a bit much too soon.

If Edwards is going to step up to a Premier League club, surely he’s better off targeting somewhere he might play?

It’s hard to predict at this stage, of course.
