Ben Turner agrees three-year deal with Cardiff City

Wed Aug 31, 2011 7:40 am

BEN TURNER is expected to become a Cardiff City player today after agreeing a three-year deal with the Welsh club.

The Coventry City centre-back will leave the Ricoh Arena having spent the best part of the last year out injured.

Turner, however, passed a medical with the Bluebirds earlier this week and looks set to join the club before the 11pm transfer window this evening.

The Sky Blues will receive £750,000 for Turner along with targetman Jon Parkin, who will move in the opposite direction.


Even if negotiations with Parkin break down the 23-year-old centre-half could still end up at Cardiff in a straight cash deal.

Birmingham City are also believed to be interested in Turner, who supported the Blues as a youngster.

Looks like Parkin is going the other way.

The Bluebirds are set to pay £750,000 for the highly-rated 23-year-old – with striker Jon Parkin heading to the Sky Blues as part of the deal.

Parkin is having a medical at Coventry City and looks set to agree a two-year contract.
