There's been clubs in the Premier League too plotting transfer bids to try and snap up the youngster - and one of the latest teams is Chelsea according to Peterborough's own Barry Fry. He confirmed that the Blues had mentioned about a deal for the player but that a transfer bid had yet to be placed from Thomas Tuchel's side for Edwards.
Since becoming a first-team player with the Posh, he has been excellent despite his age. Making his league debut when Peterborough managed a League One promotion, he went on to feature in 34 league games in the Championship for the club and impressed many.
He became a key player in their side and plenty of other teams in the division began to see the talent on display from Edwards. With the club then relegated back down to League One and having to play their football in the third tier again, there are now teams in the pyramid higher than Peterborough who want to try and sign the defender.
Now, Barry Fry has confirmed that Chelsea are one of the teams in the Premier League that are considering a bid for his services. Speaking to the Peterborough Telegraph about the Blues wanting to sign the player, he said: "I’ve had conversations with people at Chelsea who are in the know and who would be involved in any decision-making,” Fry stated. “They came to watch Lucas, but they were taken by Ronnie. They haven’t made a bid yet, but there are three weeks until the transfer window closes. They certainly like him.
