Blackburn, Middlesbrough, Swansea and Cardiff are also said to be weighing up a move for the shot-stopper.

Fon Williams is out-of-contract with his current League One employers this summer and looks set to leave Gresty Road after rejecting a new deal.

The 21-year-old has never actually featured in a league match for the Alex, despite winning international honours.

Crewe wanted him to stay and become their number one next season, with current incumbent Ben Williams also set to leave - but both are now on their way.

Fon Williams has caught the eye whilst on international duty and will have a number of options available to him.

It is believed a deal securing Fon Williams could be struck before the end of this month.

As he is under 24, Crewe will be due some compensation for the youngster.
