With his time with Reading now coming to an end, it will be interesting to see how Edwards’s situation pans out as he hunts for a new club.
It remains unknown as to whether or not Bournemouth and Celtic are still interested in the player, so it awaits to be seen if they look to come in with an offer after his Reading trial ended.
Thoughts?
Available on a free transfer, Edwards would be a low-risk signing for any Championship side.
While he has previously struggled to stand out in the division, he has experience of playing at the level and has time on his side in terms of development.
