Ronnie Edwards was signed by Queens Park Rangers on a permanent deal from Southampton for a fee reported in the region of £4.5m. QPR made a significant push to sign Ronnie Edwards permanently at the end of the summer transfer window after the Ebere Eze sell-on fee cleared, taking the opportunity to return with the offer. Ronnie Edwards stated that he was buzzing and could not wait to get going. He said that when he came to the club the previous January, he had an amazing time and felt at home immediately. He loved everything about it, including the players, the staff, and the fans, so it was a straightforward decision for him. He thought his loan probably could not have gone any better and added that it is a different mentality knowing that he is there permanently, which feels amazing. Christian Nourry stated that it was great to welcome Ronnie and his family back to the club on a permanent basis. He added that his talent and mentality are not questionable and are both excellent, and that they hope that together they can aim for greater achievements.

According to West London Sport, Queens Park Rangers and Southampton have reached an agreement on a £4.5 million deal for Ronnie Edwards, who is a 22-year-old English centre-back. Edwards, who was on loan at Loftus Road for the second half of the previous season, is interested in the transfer and is expected to undergo a medical with Rangers in the next 24 hours. Queens Park Rangers had previously attempted to sign Edwards during the summer without success. The transfer will yield a £1.5 million profit for Southampton. The club had reportedly acquired the defender from Peterborough United for £3 million. Edwards has had limited playing time at Southampton and has been omitted from the club's recent matchday squads. The England U21 international has two caps and is under contract with Southampton until 2028. He has made 11 appearances in the Championship this season. His market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €3.80m.
