Premier League new boys Cardiff City are set to launch a bid for Glasgow Rangers midfielder Josh Windass, according to the Scottish Sun.

The Bluebirds are back in the top flight after a spell away, and with Neil Warnock looking for one last go in the big time he is strengthening his squad significantly, as he bids to lead the Welsh outfit to safety next term.

Cardiff have already been active in the market since the window opened, and it would seem that they are not finished with their summer business just yet.

Windass arrived on a free transfer from Accrington Stanley two years ago, and after taking a little bit of time to settle in and get going, Gers fans started to see some of the best football from him towards the end of the last campaign.

Since making the move to Ibrox, the 24-year-old has featured more than 50 times and has a scoring record of a goal roughly every four matches, which is something that has caught the attention of the veteran Cardiff boss.




Warnock is looking for players who are going to create things as well as those who can put the ball in the back of the net, knowing that the Bluebirds are going to need to find a prolific forward if they are to remain in the Premier League.

Never being one for wading in and paying over the odds, it seems as though the former Sheffield United and Crystal Palace boss is set to test Rangers’ resolve with a £1.5 million bid, although the Scottish giants are said to be looking to bank double that if they decide to sell their star.

Steven Gerrard will need to decide how valuable Windass is to his squad. If he decides he can be replaced it may be that the Gers cash in on the midfielder to free up funds to allow the former Liverpool star to strengthen further.

I'd be delighted with this signing if we were in the championship still. We're in the premier league now though so we should be looking at better unless he is just going to be a squad player that isn't going to be used too much then for 1-2 million that's ok.

Seen him play quite a few times and is quality up here but standard were playing at is higher now.

Got to agree Windass would struggle in the Premier League.

Spot on there, how can anyone on here say he will never make it in the premier league, the lad has never been given a chance at that level, he could step up and thrive there or he might not be good enough, but until given the chance nobody knows.

He definitely has potential, he’s been managed by clowns at Ibrox so who knows what Warnock could get out of him but from what I’ve seen, so far, he doesn’t look like a PL player. He is also thick as shite :D

Gaza epitomises “he maybe daft but he’s not stupid” Windass really is borderline retarded, however if NW is looking at him it’s as a footballer not a Pointless Contestant :bluebird: :D
