23/01/18
So it looks like Cardiff City’s pursuit of a striker this month has boiled down to four main options...
Lewis Grabban
The out-of-favour Bournemouth striker, who has been linked with Cardiff’s promotion rivals Wolves, is reportedly available for around £4million - if the Bluebirds will stretch to it.
Bradley Dack
A new name on the Bluebirds’ striker radar, the prolific Blackburn Rovers frontman is also wanted by a clutch of Championship clubs, including Aston Villa and Leeds United, but more a midfielder.
David McGoldrick
Cardiff have reignited their interest in the 30-year-old journeyman striker, currently at Ipswich, and he remains on their radar with only a week now remaining of the transfer window
Gary Madine
This one has gone quiet of late, although we know Cardiff are definitely interested in the Bolton target man.

NEIL WARNOCK:
“I’ve spoken about three or four strikers, but I’m hoping to get one of them before the next league match."
“We’ve got to get a bit better at finishing, but that will come with Yanic and Marko coming on and probably another striker coming in, it augurs well for the second half of the season."
“They’ve given us a bit more depth and showed what they could do with the first half before they ran out of steam, which is understandable.”
