Ipswich Town win race for Peterborough United winger Gwion Edwards

Ipswich Town have seen off competition from their Championship rivals to sign Gwion Edwards from League One side Peterborough United.

The 25-year-old had also been linked with a move to Blackburn Rovers, Bristol City and Nottingham Forest earlier in the transfer window.

According to the Ipswich Star, the Tractor Boys have spent around £700,000 to sign Edwards, 20% of which will go to former club Crawley Town.

Former Wales Under-21s international Edwards had entered the final 12 months of his Peterborough contract and was keen to join a second-tier side prior to next season.

Ipswich have also brought in Trevoh Chalobah and Jordan Roberts since Paul Hurst was named as Mick McCarthy's successor at the end of May.
