Bluebirds in for El-Mhanni

Some news from Twitter now - with the Daily Star reporting that Cardiff are interested in Newcastle winger Yasin Ben El-Mhanni.

However, they are not alone in chasing the Magpies’ man - with Leicester, Stoke and Wolves all also interested.

We could then field a team of wingers!
Makes sense.

Ben El-Mhanni played futsal on the streets as a child before joining the AG Academy.
He was soon signed by Barnet before playing with Aldershot Town, as well as Isthmian League clubs Farnborough and Lewes.

While playing in the southern leagues, Ben El-Mhanni made a name for himself on YouTube; his skill and trickery earned him the chance to star in commercials for Sports on Screen. For the commercials, Ben El-Mhanni flew to Spain and acted as a body double and skill consultant for Brazil and Barcelona star Neymar, as well as multiple Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.

His display of skill in the lower English leagues saw him dubbed the "non-League Riyad Mahrez" because of his Moroccan heritage and similar style-of-play.

One for the Development Squad if at all...

Senior career appearances
2015 Farnborough 4
2015–2016 Lewes 11
2016– Newcastle United 0

It’he’s caught up with that Beardsley thing at Newcastle, apparently he’s been belittled by Beardsley having come from non league and at go ape when mentioning how high he was Beardsley apparently replied “fall off and do us all a favour”

I’d be happy to see a young lad come into the group but wouldn’t be wanting to pay mega bucks
