We are excited to announce that Joshua Wilson-Esbrand has joined Cardiff City on loan from Manchester City until the end of the 2023/24 season, subject to international clearance.

A versatile player who can operate in several positions, Wilson-Esbrand came through the youth ranks at West Ham United before joining Manchester City in 2019. He made his professional debut in a Carabao Cup clash against Wycombe Wanderers in September 2021.

Twelve months ago, the 21-year-old made a loan switch to Coventry City, playing in 14 Championship matches as the Robins rose from mid-table into the Play-Offs positions.

Josh has spent the first half of the current campaign on loan with Stade Reims, scoring once and assisting once in eleven Ligue 1 matches, whilst also making his debut for the England U21 team on the international stage.

Speaking to Cardiff City TV after completing his loan move, Josh said: “I’m very privileged to be here. I’m happy to get to know the boys and help the team.

“I’m just looking forward to going out there and trying to push this team as far as we can get.

“For me, I just want to be as efficient as I can in the final third. I want to play as often as I can, rack up the minutes, rack up the games and as a team, just push as far as possible.”

Bluebirds boss Erol Bulut added: "First of all, he comes from a really big team, Manchester City. He’s been on loan at Reims and also in the Championship with Coventry City, where he played in the Play-Offs. I see in him some good offensive actions, positive on the ball and good crosses. As a full-back, a wing-back and a winger, he can add a lot of things.

“He gives us flexibility, that’s important. I spoke to him about what kind of style we play and where I see him as a player, not only as a left-back, but also as a winger. For Reims, I was watching, he was also playing as a number 8, he did quite well in that position. It’s good that he is flexible.”

Welcome to CCS, Josh!

Cardiff City to sign Man City youngster on loan as deadline day business ramps up
By Glen Williams

Cardiff City are in talks to sign Manchester City left-back Josh Wilson-Esbrand on loan until the end of the season, WalesOnline understands.

The 21-year-old left-back spent the first half the season on loan at Stade Reims, playing 13 games and scoring one goal and providing one assist, but the Premier League giants have recalled him in order to send him on loan again.

And we understand that his destination is south Wales. Cardiff have only Jamilu Collins as an out-and-out left-back, while Callum O'Dowda, who is out until the end of the month, is viewed as an option further up the pitch for Erol Bulut.

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

This deal is done and will be announced later

Please be good! This will transform us if he's half decent! JC needs a break

JC needs more than a break. Needs a new club at a lower level
