PAUL Jewell has not given up on signing Rangers midfielder Maurice Edu.

Gers’ boss Ally McCoist revealed that Town have submitted a formal bid for the 26-year-old with Edu now weighing up the offer.

McCoist said: ““As far as I know, there has been an offer on the table from Ipswich which, as yet, he hasn’t accepted.

“He trained this morning. I’m just hopeful something can be resolved sooner rather than later.”

Jewell is still looking to sign three new players – and will want to deliver good news to the Town faithful after top target Steve Davies signed for Bristol City today.
