Cardiff City today were celebrating the signing of young talent Scott Malone for more reason than one, after it was revealed they fended off competition from German giants Borussia Dortmund for his signature. The 23-year-old left back was in demand as his contract was running down at Millwall and Cardiff finally brought him to the club today after a few weeks of negotiations. Malone has been put into the squad for the upcoming Championship clashes with Fulham the next port of call, but he could have been readying himself for his debut in the Bundesliga. Dortmund were showing interest in the young full-back and made “strong enquiries” according to Cardiff’s manager Russel Slade.
Reports: Borussia Dortmund ready to accept £16m bid from Manchester United for Ilkay Gundogan
The Championship boss admits he is delighted to have beat off competition from one of the biggest clubs in the world, despite Jurgen Klopp’s sides struggles this season. Slade told reporters: “Several other clubs were in for Scott. “Borussia Dortmund made strong enquiries about him, while there were other Championship clubs keen. “We are delighted Scott has signed. He is 6ft 2ins tall, athletic, will give us a lot going forward and defensively. He is a natural left footed who has previously scored five goals in one season. It is believed that Birmingham and Brighton were the other Championship clubs in for Malone. The arrival of Malone adds competition for Declan John and Fabio and Slade made it clear he is looking for them to fight for the place.
