Cardiff City faces competition for key targets as transfer rumors heat up ahead of the summer window
Cardiff: Here’s the latest buzz from Cardiff City on this Wednesday. The chairman of Peterborough, Darragh MacAnthony, has dropped a hint about midfielder Hector Kyprianou. It looks like he might stick around until the summer instead of leaving now.
Kyprianou has caught Cardiff’s eye, especially since he worked with manager Omer Riza at Leyton Orient. But it seems he’s likely to run out his contract and leave for free at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Middlesbrough is also in the mix for forward Ricky-Jade Jones. Omer Riza confirmed talks about signing him, but now it seems Boro is interested too. They might lose some players this month, which could change their plans quickly.
On another note, Riza mentioned that Michael Reindorf could go out on loan soon. Several League Two clubs are keen on him. He’s been doing well with the under-21s but got sidelined with an ankle injury.
In more good news, Kion Etete might finally make his season debut against Sheffield United in the FA Cup. He’s been recovering from a hamstring injury and is now fit to play.
Riza is looking forward to the FA Cup clash, even though teams often field weaker squads these days. He believes the competition still holds a special place in football, despite the busy schedules.
Lastly, Cardiff’s under-21s faced a tough match against Ipswich Town, losing 5-1. They had to field a young and inexperienced side, but some of those players might be back for the FA Cup match.
