Cardiff City boss Russell Slade could move closer to his first signing of the summer this week as he monitors Chesterfield midfielder Sam Morsy in the League One play-offs.
The Bluebirds boss has been tracking the progress of 23-year-old Morsy, who was Chesterfield player of the year when they won the League Two title last season.
Cardiff, Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds and Wigan were all linked with a move for Morsy in January, but he is on a long-term contract at Chesterfield and stayed to help them earn a play-off spot.
City manager Slade has watched Morsy’s development and could go back in for the holding midfield player, who describes himself as ‘a box-to-box midfield player who can break up play and link defence to attack quickly’.
Former City goalkeeper Mark Grew, who played for the Bluebirds during the 1990s, coached Morsy at Port Vale and says: “I’ve known Sam since he was 16 and in my view he clearly has Championship potential.”
Slade will also get an insight into Morsy’s character from his former Chesterfield team-mate Eoin Doyle, who joined Cardiff in January.
Morsy and the Spireites take on Peter Ridsdale’s Preston North End in their semi-final with the first leg in Yorkshire on Thursday and the return at Deepdale three days later.
Ridsdale, who is advisor to owner Trevor Hemmings at Preston, is aiming for a return to the Championship via the play-offs after the Lancashire club just missed out on promotion.
Wolverhampton-born Morsy, who qualifies to play for Egypt through his Cairo-born father, has been captain of Chesterfield and is a key player in their quest for promotion.
Slade does have money available to strengthen his squad and is intent on adding three or four players before the start of the new campaign.
Central midfield is one of the areas where he could increase competition for starting places.
It is also thought a right-back, winger and centre-forward are on his shopping list as he aims to mould a new-look team.
City manager Slade is having one-to-one meetings with all of his players this week as he continues to plan for a big promotion push next season.

My mate is a Chesterfield fan and he said the Morsy deal will depend on Chesterfield's playoff results. He said he's arguably their most key player so thinks we'd have to shell out close to £1m for him. He sounds like the exact sort of defensive midfielder we need. Gets a few goals each season too. Seems to be very highly rated by the Spireites.
