Cardiff deny Gunners approach

Cardiff have denied reports that suggested they tried to lure Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey back to Ninian Park on loan.

Reports on Tuesday indicated the Bluebirds made contact with Arsenal to check whether they could have the 17-year-old, who only moved to the Emirates for £5million in the summer, back on a short-term loan deal.

But Cardiff chairman Peter Ridsdale told the BBC: "No approach has been made."

Boss Dave Jones is on the lookout for a new midfielder after losing Riccardo Scimeca for at least two months with ankle ligament damage but Ramsey was seemingly not an option."
