Blackburn, Hull, Middlesbrough, Watford, and Portsmouth are queuing up to sign Ipswich defender George Edmundson before Friday’s transfer deadline, sources have told Football Insider.

Edmundson, 27, has been made available on loan by Ipswich after dropping down the pecking order at Portman Road.

Blackburn, Hull, Middlesbrough, Watford, and Portsmouth have registered their interest in signing Edmundson with first-team opportunities unlikely for the central defender.

The Englishman made his Premier League debut in Ipswich's 4-1 defeat to Man City on Saturday (August 24), coming off the bench for the final minute of the game.

Edmundson has made the journey all the way from League One to the Premier League with Ipswich, making 75 appearances for the club.

It's been a busy transfer window for Kieran McKenna's side, and they've spent significant money on reinforcing their central defence.

Jacob Greaves joined from Hull for a reported £18 million including add-ons and Dara O'Shea has just joined from relegated Burnley for £15 million.

Football Insider also revealed (August 22) that they are also in advanced talks with Sheffield United over a potential deal for centre-back Anel Ahmedhodzic.
