Bafetimbi Gomis

What a signing this guy would be! Would guarantee goals, and a French international striker, I'd hardly be surprised if arsenal/Liverpool sign him so if we pull that one off it will astonishing! It could well be another rubbish rumour mind you...

Cardiff City are lining up a potential bid to bring French international striker Bafetimbi Gomis to South Wales this summer, according to reports in his homeland.

French newspaper L’Equipe are reporting the Bluebirds have “established contact” with the player's current club Lyon over the possibility of a deal.

Lyon are understood to be open to selling Gomis as they look to offload a number of big-earners from their wage bill.

The 27-year-old has just a year left on his current deal, but German club Bayer Leverkusen could offer competition for his signature.

Gomis has played 10 times for France, scoring three goals, and is one of Ligue 1’s top scorers this year, bagging 16 goals.

One obstacle to a move to Cardiff could be the striker's desire to play for a big, established Premier League club as he looks to cement his place in France's 2014 World Cup squad.

Gomis has previously been a target for Liverpool and Chelsea, while Tottenham were also said to be weighing up a move in January.

Earlier this year, Gomis – dubbed ‘baby Drogba’ after making his debut for Saint Etienne in 2004 – said he would like to play in England.

He said: “England and Germany attract me.

“I also love Italian football, even if England and Germany fit me better. After Italy, it is always tempting, says French.”

Joke of the year mate. You win already, hands down. Im not even competing anymore.
