Omer Riza:
"There's been discussions regarding Ricky-Jade Jones and we will see how that progresses."
Jones was recorded as being the fastest player in the world last year.

Cardiff City have held talks about signing Peterborough United forward Ricky-Jade Jones as Bluebirds manager Omer Riza targets "three or four" new players in January.
The 22-year-old has scored 12 goals in 30 appearances across all competitions for the League One side this season.
As Jones is out of contract at the end of this campaign, the pacey forward could be available for a reduced fee.
However, even if Jones was to leave for free in the summer, his age means Peterborough would be able to claim a fee decided by a tribunal.
"There's been discussions regarding Ricky-Jade Jones and we will see how that progresses," said Riza.
"At the moment, all we can say is that the discussions are taking place, obstacles are in the way which we've spoken about previously, which is whether players want to come to our club or whether we can afford to sign them for our club, whether it's right for us to bring those players in and whether they'll be impactful.
"We have to make sure we get that right. But definitely the process has begun for three or four players to come in.
"There's a whole host of players we are looking at, in respect of pace in the top line, creativity and impact. He [Jones] is one of a list of players we've spoken about."

Read other clubs were vying with us for him that was before riza said anything .... tbh be surprised if other clubs was not looking at him so irrelevant whether riza said anything or not.... and its always the same never hear of us after a player on our own its always with another club or two in particular Swansea get a mention more often than not ... like said be surprised if we sign anyone..

If we miss out on Ricky we can always go after Wellard ....

Can’t see us signing him.
According to WoL he’s been clocked at running 22.3 mph. He’d be booked every game doing that.
So we need to blame Drakeford and his 20mph limit for missing out on Tricky Ricky. NEXT!!

This is all part of the City policy.
Name the player we're after thus ensuring that other clubs will be aware of our interest.
When inevitably some other team either matches or betters our offer and the player decides to go to a better run club then the clowns running the club can say that they were so close to getting their target but just couldn't get the deal over the line.
We've heard it all before.

Not wishing to put a dampener on this and if he comes I hope he's a success, but I've had a message exchange with a Peterborough season ticket holder who says that although he is incredibly quick he doesn't really have anything else. He says he'd be glad to get anything for him with him being out of contract at the end of the season!
