Cardiff City transfer news as new signing bullishly describes playing style, Ikpeazu's name floated and Warnock hits back at Spence dig

The latest Cardiff City headlines for Monday, May 30

New Cardiff City signing Ollie Tanner will have excited supporters by the way in which he described his style of play in a Q&A with the club's website.

When asked to describe how he plays, the 20-year-old said : "I am a direct winger, I use pace and power to beat players, score goals and get assists."

That is exactly what Cardiff have been lacking since the likes of Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Josh Murphy have been out of the club.

Gaining a greater insight into Tanner as a person, he described Lionel Messi as his favourite player, the Nou Camp as the stadium he wants to play at most and named his dad as his inspiration growing up.

But in a telling message to young City fans, following his own path from non-league to the Championship with Cardiff City, Tanner said: "Never give up. Never give up on what you want to do, because you never know what's going to happen in the future."

He's got his move to City and now the club will hope he pays them back with those goals and assists in the upcoming campaign.

Uche Ikpeazu's name will already have been circulated around potential suitors this summer with the striker surplus to requirements at Middlesbrough, according to TeessideLive.

Ikpeazu arrived on loan in January and scored two crucial goals for Cardiff, the first against Barnsley and the second against Derby County, both in 1-0 wins, as the Bluebirds were looking to claw their way away from the bottom three.

However, having returned to Boro, it looks as though Chris Wilder wants shot of him as quickly as possible in order to get two new strikers in to complement Duncan Watmore and Josh Coburn. As things stand, Cardiff don't appear to be in the running to bring him back
