Report: Crewe Alexandra hoping to sign Bradden Inman

Crewe Alexandra boss Steve Davis is reportedly intent on securing the services of Newcastle United midfielder Bradden Inman before the end of the transfer window.

The 21-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Gresty Road, is believed to be keen on a move to the League One outfit.

According to PA, Inman has rejected a new contract at Newcastle, opening the door for Crewe to sign the midfielder on a permanent deal.

A number of Football League clubs are also believed to be monitoring proceedings.
