Ipswich Town have rejected a bid from Middlesbrough for the permanent transfer of defender George Edmundson, as reported by Football Insider.
The 27-year-old joined Middlesbrough on loan following Ipswich's promotion to the Premier League last season, and his impressive performances have sparked the club's interest in securing him on a long-term basis.
Since his arrival at Middlesbrough in late August, Edmundson has established himself as a key figure in manager Michael Carrickās plans, featuring in 20 matches across all competitions. However, Ipswich's firm stance suggests they are keen to retain the defender for the remainder of the season.
