Cardiff City will look to make German forward Sven Schipplock their first signing since winning promotion to the Premier League — according to newspaper reports.
German media have claimed the 29-year-old Hamburg striker, who is out of contract in the summer, will join the Bluebirds at the expiry of his HSV contract at the end of June.
Schipplock failed to find the net in the 2017/18 season as the German side dropped out of the Bundesliga for the first time in their history.
Before that, he spent the 2016/17 campaign on loan at Darmstadt, scoring three times in 25 appearances.
He also lists Hoffenheim and Stuttgart among his former clubs and is now reportedly being monitored by British sides, including Cardiff.
Neil Warnock is expected to bolster his forward ranks this summer, but a move for Schipplock would be a surprise given the veteran boss' indications he would only delve into markets he knew.
Cardiff are expected to sign upwards of five players to boost their survival bid next season. A striker is thought to be a priority as Warnock seeks support for frontman Kenneth Zohore, with Gary Madine still goalless since his £5million January move from Bolton.
