Keeper Crowe in Wales U21 Squad
Wednesday, 24th Aug 2016 13:43

Town keeper Michael Crowe has been named in the Wales U21s squad for their Euro 2017 group games against Denmark and Luxembourg early next month.

The Welsh youngsters, who are coached by former Blues midfielder Geraint Williams, take on the Danes at Wrexham on Friday 2nd September, before Luxembourg visit Bangor on Tuesday 6th September.

Williams’s side are currently third in the group after seven games, four points behind leaders Denmark and one off Romania in second.

The winners qualify for the final tournament in Poland next June, while the four best runners-up go into play-offs.

London-born, Norway-raised Crowe (pictured above left with Joe Robinson), 20, who qualifies for Wales via his grandmother, is yet to make his U21s debut having previously won caps for the U19s.

Meanwhile, Town have been linked with a loan move for Newcastle striker Adam Armstrong, who was playing for the Magpies’ U23s at West Ham on Monday evening, a game which, as previously reported, was watched by boss Mick McCarthy and his assistant Terry Connor.

The 19-year-old is understood to be interesting his former loan side Coventry, as well as Rotherham and Bradford among others.

Town would appear an unlikely destination for the England U19 international, who would almost certainly be well down the pecking order were he to move to Portman Road given the number of senior strikers already at the club.

Former Newcastle frontman Leon Best, 29, is currently on trial with the Blues and scored in Monday’s 3-2 U23s defeat to Birmingham.

Wales U21s: Billy O'Brien (Manchester City), Michael Crowe (Ipswich Town), Declan John (Cardiff City), Jordan Evans (Wrexham), Joseph Wright (Doncaster Rovers), Tom Lockyer (Bristol Rovers), Adam Henley (Blackburn Rovers), Gethin Jones (Everton), Dominic Smith (Shrewsbury Town), Dan James (Swansea City), Josh Sheehan (Swansea City, on loan at Newport County), Lee Evans (Wolves), Ryan Hedges (Swansea City, on loan at Yeovil Town), Tom O'Sullivan (Cardiff City), Wes Burns (Bristol City, on loan at Aberdeen), Ellis Harrison (Bristol Rovers), Harry Wilson (Liverpool).
