Karlan Grant:

Aged 26 Striker

Last season 31 appearances / 3 goals

WBA Over all 96 appearances / 22 goals


Cardiff City Sign Grant on a year long loan from WBA.



KARLAN GRANT:

"The way the manager sold it to me and the direction they want to go in. I saw they made a few signings and are still actively trying to make a few more signings. The way they wanted to play, I just felt like straight away we hit the ground running. That was important.


"I felt like he really wanted me here. That was very important. The role he wanted me to play. Those things as one were important after a difficult year last year.


"But the Cardiff that I know have always been trying to challenge and hopefully we can bring that back this year.

"It's credit to the manager, because he has taken his time to do his research on me and that's why it was important for me to come here. So far, he seems like a great guy. Hopefully we can create great memories together."


He can play a number of positions, of course, wide on the left, on the right or even as a striker, but Bulut sees him as a forward option, believes he will score the goals . It could see him link up with his old mate Callum Robinson, or 'Agent Robbo' as some are alluding to him due to his part on getting him to the Welsh capital.


"I don't think I'm restricted, but I think off the left he likes me," he added. "I can make that run between the full-back and centre-half with my pace, pick it up in the pockets with whoever is in the 10, whether it be Robbo (Callum Robinson) or Rambo (Aaron Ramsey). Just that freedom to go out there and express myself.

"I spoke with Robbo before coming and that's important. You want to know one side from the manager and hear the players' point of view as well.

"Robbo was really positive with how this pre-season was going and the direction they were trying to go in. I'm not one to look at last year, I know this club and I know how it pushes at the top half of the table.

"I've not come here to relax, I've come here to compete, not just to relax. I really want to push on with the team."

The reaction to him signing was unanimously positive from Cardiff City fans

I think he will be a good player for us, he's proved he has the ability and I like the interview, he wants to restart his career and has a good attitude for this season.
