Newly promoted Cardiff has signed Chile midfielder Gary Medel from Sevilla for a club-record fee to strengthen its squad ahead of the club's first season in the Premier League.

Cardiff said Medel has signed a four-year deal, subject to a work permit, having passed a medical exam on Saturday.

Cardiff manager Malky Mackay called Medel "a tenacious and intelligent international midfielder," adding that "his experience will be an invaluable asset to our squad."

Medel has played more than 50 times for Chile, including at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and spent two seasons with Sevilla in the Spanish league.

Cardiff did not disclose the transfer fee, but said it was a record for the club.

Medel will link up with his new team after international duty with Chile, which plays Denmark in a friendly on Wednesday.

What a ride. Malky delivers. Tippy Tappy is so last year. Gentlemen, we have an amazing season ahead of us.

What a great signing, I bet Tom Ince is kicking himself by turning us down.
The pitbull looks the bomb, he's reminds a bit like paul scholes.

What a signing

Great signing

REUTERS - English Premier League newboys Cardiff City have broken their transfer record for a third time in a matter of weeks by striking a deal with Sevilla for Chile midfielder Gary Medel.

Cardiff said the 26-year-old had agreed a four-year deal, subject to obtaining a work permit, but did not say how much they paid for their record signing.

British media reported a fee of 11 million pounds.

"We're delighted to have secured the services of Gary - a tenacious and intelligent international midfielder," Cardiff manager Malky Mackay told the club's website on Saturday.

"Having had two seasons of regular football in La Liga - with 60 odd international caps to his name and three appearances at a World Cup - his experience will be an invaluable asset to our squad."

The Welsh side, owned by Malaysian billionaire Vincent Tan, have been busy in the transfer market ahead of their first season back in England's top flight since 1962.

The Bluebirds had already broken their transfer record with the signing of Danish striker Andreas Cornelius in July before they landed Tottenham Hotspur defender Steven Caulker for an even bigger fee four weeks later.

Cardiff begin their Premier League campaign away to West Ham United on Saturday, but Medel will have little time to get to know his new team mates as he joins up with the Chile squad ahead of their friendly against Iraq in Denmark on Wednesday.

Welcome on board, El Pitbull. We should give a good account of ourselves this season.

This signing really excited me... 6 days lads!!! Going to be a tough old season even with the quality we have

Yeah he looks a header. Him and Bellamy in the team look out!

More Gary Medel action.....what a signing! See who he swap shirts with at the end. Says it all.

It has been a big rise for us, I would have never dreamed of us signing a player of Medal's quality, I can't believe we've managed to sign him!

Cracking signing not heard much about him to be fair although from some YouTube clips looks a complete package in midfield. Can pass, shoot, tackle and got to love the guys determination and passion.

In Malky we trust!!!!!
