The 20-year-old centre-back has established himself as a regular in Darren Ferguson’s starting line-up at London Road.
Last season, Edwards made 42 League One appearances and helped Peterborough reach the playoffs.
His performances last season have turned some heads and West Ham are interested in him.
Moyes is keen on strengthening his backline and is an admirer of Edwards’ talents.
Now it has been claimed that West Ham have submitted their initial offer for the 20-year-old to Peterborough.
And the Hammers are in negotiations with Ferguson’s side regarding a transfer fee for the young centre-back.
Edwards has featured 93 times for Peterborough and has two more years left on his contract.
The youngster is highly rated at Peterborough and it remains to be seen whether West Ham will be able to snatch him from the Posh.
