Josh Edwards, a defender for Dunfermline, is someone Charlton Athletic hopes to sign soon.
According to a Scottish report, the 23-year-old was the subject of a six-figure proposal, although that was inaccurate in terms of both the amount offered and the fact that it had not been rejected.
According to sources close to the South London Press, Charlton plans to try to work out a deal for Edwards by this coming Friday.
Edwards’s contract with Dunfermline is set to expire in one year.
Additionally, talks are on between the League One team and Luke Berry, who is leaving Luton Town.
Nathan Jones, the manager of Charlton, has stated that he wants the majority of the club’s transfer business finished before his team resumes preseason practice.
Thierry Small’s contract has an option that the Addicks have already exercised to keep the former Southampton and Everton defender through the summer of 2023.
Although he can play in left midfield as well, Edwards plays in the same position as Small.
In 36 games during the previous season, he recorded three goals and eight assists in the Scottish Championship.
Edwards was once signed by Airdrieonians and made 39 appearances for them. He has appeared in 182 games for Dunfermline.
During the January transfer window, Barnsley’s bid for Edwards was turned down.
Dunfermline boss James McPake, talking at the time, said: “For what Josh is worth to us and what he can do, the club knocked that back. It shows real intent from them as well.
“Keeping Josh was very important, for what he does in the team. He could get injured, that’s just the way football is, but a player of his profile is really hard to find.
“And the way he plays that left wing/left wing-back role, I don’t see many like that out there.
“It was very important we kept him. He’s performing at a really high level.
“I’ve said to him, the moves will come for him.
“He’s doing everything right, so if he keeps doing what he’s doing for us, he’ll go on to have an amazing career.
He is taking good care of himself, working hard, and exercising appropriately.
Although we are happy to keep him, he will deserve whatever the football gods have in store for him.
