TOM INCE has declined the offer to join Premier League new boys Cardiff.

According to Wales Online, the former Liverpool striker turned down the opportunity, after stating he wanted more time to ponder the move last Friday.
The Bluebirds and the Seasiders agreed a deal worth £8m last week.
But now Tom will stay with his father Paul at Bloomfield Road, for the time being.

Cardiff manager Malky Mackay revealed his hopes about the deal last week, saying: "I can only say from the chat we had, we had a very amicable, friendly chat
"They asked me a lot of questions about where his career could go forward, where I see him in terms of the type of player he is and what's going on here.
"He was certainly very impressed by the stadium, training ground and the city in general during our conversation and the plans for Cardiff City going forward."
