Cardiff City headlines as Kieffer Moore warned about Bournemouth move and new Bluebird delighted with loan

Here's your round-up of all the latest Cardiff City headlines for Wednesday, February 2.

Uche Ikpeazu says he's delighted to be working alongside former team-mate Sean Morrison again, and can't wait to get going in a Cardiff shirt.

Ikpeazu signed on loan from Middlesbrough during the last few hours of the January transfer window on Monday night, following a U-turn from the Teessiders, who had initially insisted on a permanent deal.

Cardiff had also made a move for Sam Surridge, but were denied when the deal was sensationally hijacked by Steve Cooper's Nottingham Forest.

That sparked a late scramble, particularly in light of Kieffer Moore's departure, but the 26-year-old was eventually confirmed as a Cardiff player before the 11pm deadline.

Speaking about the move, the forward said: "I wasn't sure if it was going to get over the line, but in the end it did, and I am delighted to come here. I'm really looking forward to it.

"I'm physically strong, but I can shoot off both feet, score goals and bring team-mates into play. I'm looking forward to doing that."

The move sees Ikpeazu link up once again with City skipper Sean Morrison, with the pair enjoying a strong relationship following their time together at the Madejski.

"I was with Sean Morrison at Reading - he's a good friend of mine, and we've always kept in contact. I was a young player at Reading while he was just breaking through, so he was someone that we looked up to. He's having a great career, and it's great to be around him again."

BBC pundit Iwan Roberts believes Kieffer Moore's move to Bournemouth has given the striker a chance to one day ply his trade in the Premier League, but has warned that game time may well be harder to come by for the Wales international.
