Ex-Leeds star linked with summer Bluebirds switch
CARDIFF City are among a clutch of clubs interested in signing former Leeds United forward Ian Poveda this summer.
The 24-year-old is a free agent following his release from Elland Road, and a number of clubs are believed to be keen on securing his services.
According to Football League World, the likes of West Bromwich Albion, Sheffield Wednesday and Luton Town, are all keen, meaning the Bluebirds may have to work hard to get a deal over the line.
The Colombian spent the second half of last season on loan at Wednesday, helping Danny Rohl’s side secure their Championship status, having previously made just 30 appearances for Leeds since arriving in 2020.
Meanwhile, former Cardiff City midfielder Will Vaulks is reportedly a target for Oxford United.
Vaulks has enjoyed two successful seasons at Sheffield Wednesday, but could be on the move in the summer window because of his current contract situation.
The 30-year-old has been offered a new deal by the Owls, but an agreement is yet to be reached between the two parties.
According to the Sheffield Star, there is no shortage of interest in the Wales international, whose Championship experience has made him a potentially attractive option.
Having secured promotion to the second tier, Oxford believe he could be a strong acquisition and a move to the Kassam Stadium would see Vaulks link up with a number of former Bluebirds.
Ciaron Brown, Mark Harris and Joe Bennett are among the current crop of U’s to have plied their trade in the Welsh capital. As is winger Josh Murphy, whose brace at Wembley inspired them to a play-off final win.
