Ange Postecoglou should take a gamble and sign EFL 'wonderkid' who is 'destined for greatness' - opinion
He's got a big future in the game...????
Ange Postecoglou should take a gamble and sign an EFL ‘wonderkid’ who is ‘destined for greatness’.
The North Londoners made clear signs of progression last term and ended up finishing fifth, thus qualifying for the Europa League.
Though, there is a sense of a little disappointment with how the season ended and the onus will certainly be to bridge the gap on the top four next season.
To do that, they’ll need to bolster their squad which has lacked depth over the last few years and one promising youngster should be at the summit of their transfer list.
Tottenham Hotspur should sign Ronnie Edwards
Tottenham should consider making a move for Peterborough United centre-back Ronnie Edwards, who has been labelled a ‘wonderkid’.
The England under-20 international enjoyed a phenomenal season in League One last term and scooped the Young Player of the Season award.
Posh failed to go up via the play-offs and are now expected to sell on their prized asset this summer, with a £10m price tag mooted.
Crystal Palace had bids rejected for Edwards in the winter window and could return to the table once again.
Spurs should steal a march on the deal and add Edwards to their ranks as he has the potential to grow into a regular for Postecoglou’s side.

Ronnie Edwards statistics
Edwards, who is ‘destined for greatness’, made 55 appearances for Peterborough last season, helping them to achieve a fourth-placed finish.
According to FotMob, he averaged a phenomenal 91.6 per cent pass accuracy, evincing his comfortability playing out from the back.
Further, he won 74.1 per cent of his tackles, amplifying his proficient defensive skills, too.
There will be plenty of interest in Edwards this summer, even with a £10m price tag, and if Tottenham do land his signature, he’d be a very smart addition.
