Ridsdale says ball is now in midfielder's court
Cardiff City chairman Peter Ridsdale has confirmed Joe Ledley has been offered a new contract to stay at the club.
Ledley's current deal expires at the end of the season and there had been suggestions Cardiff could cash in on the Wales international during the transfer window.
Hull City and Wolves were linked with the midfielder, but no bids came in to offer Ledley a move to the Premier League.
With the transfer window now closed, Cardiff have moved to tie the 22-year-old down to a new long-term deal with the Championship side.
Ledley suggested last week that he is willing to agree a new contract and Ridsdale is now waiting for the player's response.
"We have put a new contract before Joe and he is considering it," said Ridsdale in the
Western Mail
"We believe it is a good deal and the ball is now in Joe's court."
Rebuilding work
Meanwhile, Ridsdale is confident that Bluebirds boss Dave Jones has now assembled a squad capable of challenging for promotion to the top flight.
He added: "I believe in the seven players we have brought in we have seven quality players.
"I am delighted with the rebuilding work myself and Dave have carried out to the squad during the course of the summer.
"I feel now we have cover across every position on the pitch and that is exactly what we were aiming for.
"I believe we have a squad assembled now which can have a successful campaign in the Championship."
