Cardiff City headlines as clubs swoop for January target and youngster out for the season

Here are your Cardiff City headlines for Tuesday, April 5.

January transfer target Nahki Wells could leave Bristol City before the end of the season with two MLS clubs interested in signing the striker, according to Bristol Live.

The Bluebirds were very keen on bringing the 31-year-old striker to Cardiff City Stadium in January and failed with two loan bids to sign him. It is understood that the Robins' preference was to sell the player.

Wells opened up on his failed move to Cardiff just days after it all fell through, revealing he was "disappointed" a deal could not be struck between the two sides at the end of the window. The day after the transfer window closed, Wells played for Bristol City's under-23s in a victory over the Bluebirds and spoke of the irony of playing against a team he could have signed for just hours before.

“I’m a professional, and I conduct myself properly,” he said of the decision to play for the under-23s after the deadline shut. “That’s why I put myself forward for the U23 game, to get some minutes under my belt and show the manager my approach.

“It was a good performance. I scored some goals and felt good fitness-wise. The irony is, it was against Cardiff, and I thought I could have been a Cardiff player hours before that. Physically, I’m still in my peak, and I genuinely feel like I’m in my prime. I don’t think I’ve lost anything; everything is still there.”

Whether Cardiff choose to reignite their interest in the summer remains to be seen. However, he might be across the Atlantic by then. The new MLS season starts on February 26 and EFL rules permit the movement of players
