Colchester United are likely to learn within the next 48 hours whether or not they can complete the signing of Cardiff City midfielder Tommy O’Sullivan.

The Bluebirds youngster has been training with the U’s and featured for their under-23 side in their 3-2 win at neighbours Ipswich Town on Monday, scoring their opener.

O’Sullivan, who is out of contract at Cardiff at the end of the season, is highly regarded by Colchester head coach John McGreal who is keen to bolster his squad in this month’s transfer window.


McGreal said: “The situation with Tommy O’Sullivan is ongoing at this moment in time.

“We’re speaking to his representatives to see where we are and we should know a little bit more in the next couple of days.

“He played 45 minutes the other day and he’s got involved with the training with the first team.

“That’s where he wants to pitch himself.

“He’s a player that I’ve known of and liked as he’s come through the under-23s at Cardiff.”

Good luck to him and Colchester who have got themselves a great young player.
