Cardiff City have today signed Wycombe Wanderers winger Kadeem Harris on a three and half year deal.

The highly rated 18 year old midfielder, known for his attacking quality and pace, has signed on an undisclosed fee from the Chairboys. He has now travelled back home and will link up with the squad from Wednesday after our trip to Southampton on Tuesday night.

We beat of Chelsea and Fulham to sign Harris.

The deal is believed to be worth £250,000. :ayatollah:

'Known for his attacking quality and pace' :roll:

Well seeing as he's a winger, I'd be surprised if he didn't possess those two attributes!

I don't think we should really go above that to be honest. Would we be able to offer anymore anyway?

Mason was 'one for the future' and he's now a major asset!!

Who knows, this kid will have no fear, so could potentially tear it up as this level

However, Solomon Taiwo was a hot prospect


Im happy though and have full faith in our recruitment department :ayatollah:

When was this offer put on the table? Is the problem with the player, the agent, the club?

Who's happy who ain't?

Kadeem Harris joins Cardiff City from Wycombe Wanderers

Monday, 30 January 2012



Harris has come through Wycombe's youth system
Cardiff City have signed Wycombe Wanderers winger Kadeem Harris for an undisclosed fee.

The 18-year-old has established himself in the Wycombe team this season, making 17 appearances in League One.

Harris signed his first professional contract in May 2011, shortly after winning League Two's apprentice of the year award in the 2010-11 season.

"It's a good deal for all parties," Wycombe manager Gary Waddock told the club's website.

Cardiff manager Malky Mackay has made signing a winger a priority in the January transfer window.

KADEEM HARRIS FACTFILE
Continue reading the main story
Born in London on 23 May 1993
He made his senior debut aged 16 as a substitute in a League One match in December 2009
He was awarded the League Two Apprentice of the Year award in April 2011
He has failed in his attempts to prize Craig Noone from Brighton, while a bid for Blackpool's wide man Matt Phillips has also been rejected.

Harris broke the record as Wycombe's youngest player when he made his debut in 2009, aged 16 years and 201 days. That record has subsequently been taken from him by Jordan Ibe in 2011, who was 15 years and 244 days when he featured in a Carlin Cup tie.

Striker Ibe, now 16, joined Liverpool earlier in the January transfer window.

Waddock added: "Like Jordon Ibe recently, we didn't want to stand in the way of Kadeem and the opportunity for him to play at a higher level.

"I've thoroughly enjoyed working with Kadeem during my time at the club and I wish him every success for the future."

The boy sounds like an exciting young prospect and I'mlooking forward to seeing him play for Cardiff City, he must have something about him if he won the Football Leagues' Apprentice of the Year and Fulham and Chelsea scouting him as well.

Re: " KADEEM HARRIS JOINS CARDIFF CITY "

Mon Jan 30, 2012 9:21 pm

A very good prospect. Has pace to burn and can beat defenders on the inside and outside. Like a lot of young wingers he needs to get more consistent with his crossing and finishing. That said he has the ability and mentality to become a better player than Roger Johnson. All in all a super signing for Cardiff. - Wycombe Board that is really "quirky" :lol:
