Gary Roberts could be on his way out of Crewe to join Cardiff

Cardiff have played down reports that Crewe midfielder Gary Roberts is in line for a �150,000 move to the club.

The 21-year-old, currently transfer listed at Gresty Road, has not travelled with the rest of the squad on their pre-season tour of Bulgaria.

First team coach Steve Holland told BBC Radio Stoke: "Gary was invited on the trip but decided to stay behind.

"There is a possibility that something might happen this week so he wanted to be around for that."

Roberts, who has a year left on his current deal at the Alexandra Stadium, has made over 100 appearances for the South Cheshire club.
