" Jefferson Montero "

Media Wales Reporting


Wednesday 7th August 2013

According to reports, Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay is looking to bolster his ranks for the club's Premier League bow with the signature of flying Ecuadorian winger Jefferson Montero.

And looking at one of the 23-year-old's latest turnouts for his Mexican club Monarcas Morelia, it is not difficult to see why.

Montero produced an astonishing hat-trick in Morelia's game against Toluca a week last Friday - but was badly let-down by team mates with Morelia still going down 4-3 in a thrilling encounter.

The 27-cap Ecuadorian international got on the score sheet in the very first minute of the match after finding the back of the net from a seemingly impossible angle near the byline when forced wide.

He then added a second in the 41st minute with a clever chip after the Toluca goalkeeper had rushed out in a vain attempt to close down the advancing Montero.

He completed his spectacular three-goal salvo by jinking past two Toluca defenders, cutting inside and rifling past the keeper.



But his heroics were not enough to prevent Morelia slipping to defeat with the home team surrendering their 3-2 advantage in the final ten minutes, eventually losing 4-3.

Nevertheless, Morelia have enjoyed a strong start to the new Mexican season, winning their other three games. They lie second in the table.

Meanwhile Montero, who has experience of playing football in Europe in Spain with Villareal, Real Betis and Levante, is said to be on the radar of a host of Premier League clubs.

Everton and Hull City are said to be keeping tabs on him, as well as the Bluebirds and South Wales rivals Swansea.

Radio reports in his Ecuadorian homeland say Cardiff have made contact with the player's representative Diego Herrera.

But while City boss Malky Mackay has expressed interest in adding quality to his squad no specific approach for Montero has been confirmed

"According to reports"

It's patently obvious that this whole piece is taken from the Montero thread on this MB.

What the f**k happened to proper journalism.......unreal.

Been called up to the Ecuador squad for their home friendly against Spain, so can't see him flying over here then flying back a week later. This will drag out

I would have thought that our recruitment team would fly over to him.

Cardiff plot Jefferson Montero transfer after being snubbed by fellow winger Tom Ince

Mackay hoping £3million will be enough to winkle nippy Ecuador international out of his Mexican club - watch him here!

Cardiff boss Malky Mackay is making a £3million move for Ecuador international winger Jefferson Montero.

Mackay has been alerted that the Mexico-based midfielder wants to come to the Premier League and is now hoping to agree a fee with his club, Morelia.

Speedy and skilful Montero would be a perfect alternative to Blackpool’s Thomas Ince, who turned down a £8m switch to the Welsh club last month.

Montero has been linked with English sides several times, but newly-promoted Cardiff are now aiming to bring him to the other side of the Severn Bridge.

Mackay has contacts in South America who have recommended the 23-year-old, who previoualy played in Spain for Villarreal, and contact has been made with his camp about setting up the move quickly.

Probably, just posting what i seen. Twitter is a load of BS anyway.

The daily mail is linking us to Montero I know its common knowledge to us but, I'm sure they were the first paper to link us with a move for Caulker.

i know nothing about him, but all seems positive, so heres hoping
