French club Sochaux have ended their interest in Rangers midfielder Maurice Edu.

The USA international was the subject of two failed bids by the Ligue 1 club who have now decided to end their pursuit after signing Udinese's Thierry Doubai on loan for the remainder of the season.

"We had two or three options but today we signed Thierry Doubai. We are very happy to have Doubai," Sochaux assistant coach Stephane Gilli told STV.

"Our first option was for Edu to come here. But we made two offers to Rangers and they said it wasn't enough.

"We could not get a solution. I think the offer we made was the correct amount. I spoke to our president this morning and he told us our interest in Edu is finished."
