City Linked With Perry Ng

From Daily Mail last night

Crewe Alexandra risk losing defender Perry Ng on a free transfer after rejecting £250,000 from Cardiff City.

League One Crewe have turned down Cardiff's bid, which also included a host of add-ons, for Ng and don’t want to sell their captain this month.

Crewe boss David Artell is determined to keep Ng despite the now real possibility of the defender leaving the club for nothing when his contract expires in the summer.

That would represent a massive financial gamble for Crewe given the difficult financial landscape caused by the Covid pandemic.

The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the best young full-backs in the EFL after making over more than 150 appearances.

Cardiff have made Ng their top target as Bluebirds boss Neil Harris targets a strong finish to the season.

Artell confirms Ng is leaving the club this week. Not sure they see our bid as disgraceful now...

It may not be us. Thought we were in for the Villa full back.

It might not be but I can't imagine it will be much more than 250k for a bloke that's had 3 months in League One, and is out of contract in 6.

The manager's comments can be ignored. The decision will be made by the Crewe board and based on common sense and their financial needs. Maybe he won't be coming if the the Villa loanee comes in?

Reports elsewhere that Crewe have accepted an increased offer of £350k from us.
Unless Crewe have a number of clubs after his services they'd be daft to hold out for more.

David Artell has confirmed Ng is on his way to Cardiff to complete a move today. Welcome Perry

so £250k = disgusting
£350k = thank you very much, pleasure doing business with you

I think our bid for Guilbert plus Ng seemingly wanting to come here may have had an effect on that! I think the board may have told Artell to shut up next time .
