' Cardiff City Star linked with Bundesliga move '

Cardiff City midfielder and Iceland hero Aron Gunnarsson linked with shock Bundesliga switch in January

Reported interest in the Iceland hero during the summer window never materialised


The transfer window may have slammed shut last Wednesday, but that hasn't stopped the speculation regarding the future of some Bluebirds.

Reports in Germany this morning claimed that Aron Gunnarsson is a January target for Bundesliga outfit HSV.

Arron Gunnarsson's exploits in the summer, captaining Iceland to a famous win over England at Euro 2016, saw him linked with a spate of clubs on his return.

However, reported interest from the likes of Derby County and Norwich City never materialised and the combative midfielder has delivered a series of assured displays in a Cardiff shirt this season.

Hamburg drew their first game of the season, a 1-1 scoreline against Ingolstadt. They are captained by former Arsenal defender Johan Djourou.

Cardiff, and Head Coach Paul Trollope, would be loathed to lose such a firm fan favourite; a key part of their plans for the season ahead.

Speaking on Gunnarsson's future before the close of the window, Trollope said: "Aron has been great, he had a fantastic summer and a great qualification campaign.

"He was a bit late coming back to us in pre-season with some of the other guys. We had to be careful with him in the first few weeks so that we were not putting him at risk of injury after such an intense summer.

"You don’t lose too much but there is an emotional and physical side to all that which needs to be taking into consideration.

"So we have eased him back in and I think he has been a real positive.

"He has shown what a good player and leader he is. We have some good options there."

Slow news day.

If the price is right get rid

If played correctly he could get us some vital points! Did any of you Cardiff fans see him in the Euros??!

He was immense! If he can perform for Cardiff the way he did for Iceland then he could be the assist master for our late goals! Constantly overlooked and if he's not recognised by our fans then he deserves to be at a better club!

Aron Gunnarsson, our captain in my eyes!

I thought it was going to be linked with Borussia Dortmund again... Every player we are linked with seems to be linked with them too.

Euros different kettle of fish. He's prob our worst center midfielder on the ball, looses possession often.

it seems a bit odd that he is linked with yet another club just a few days after the window shut. If they want him then why not make a bid for him before it closed...
