By Uttoxeter Advertiser | Monday: June 08, 2015
CARDIFF City want to sign Derby County forward Johnny Russell, according to reports.
Bluebirds boss Russell Slade is targeting the Scotland international to provide competition for wide men Craig Noone and Anthony Pilkington, says Wales Online.
Slade is also said to be weighing up an ambitious swoop for Ipswich Town hot-shot Daryl Murphy.
Russell was previously linked with a move to Bournemouth in the January transfer window.
The 25-year-old made 46 appearances, including 31 starts, in all competitions for the Rams in 2014-15, and scored eight goals.
He earned his third international cap on Friday, coming on as a substitute in Scotland's 1-0 friendly win over Qatar.
