Cardiff could allow Anthony Pilkington to leave, and Leeds United should step in.


Neil Warnock has admitted he could allow Anthony Pilkington to leave Cardiff City, in comments made to BBC Wales Sport this week.

He cites Pilkington may need 'a new challenge', and that he will hold talks with the winger about his future.

Leeds have had reports on the Welsh outfits Anthony Pilkington.

Pilikington is a player who would suit one of Warnock's former clubs, Leeds United, with the Whites looking to strengthen their side after narrowly missing out on a play-off place last season.

The 28-year-old has Premier League experience with Norwich City and has an eye for goal, while Championship top scorer Chris Wood could thrive further off his service.

Leeds are close to agreeing to bringing back last season's loanee Hadi Sacko, but Pilkington is at another level, even if he did not get the assists to show for it last year due to Cardiff's lack of punch up front.

Team Key Passes Crossing Accuracy Shots On Target Assists Goals Appearances
Anthony Pilkington Cardiff 28 19% 22 1 7 34
Stuart Dallas Leeds 28 22% 8 3 2 31
Hadi Sacko Leeds 27 21% 7 3 2 38




Pilkington offers far more of a goal threat, scoring more goals than Stuart Dallas and Hadi Sacko did combined, and having more attempts on target.

While the Leeds duo managed more assists, Pilkington created the same number of chances and he would improve his own game playing with Chris Wood.


Leeds need to bring in experienced players of Pilkington's calibre if they are to really strengthen and get over the hurdle and make the play-offs this season.

Cardiff would be reluctant sellers but if the offer is attractive enough it appears Neil Warnock would not stand in his way.

Be a good move for him, I hope we get 1 or 2 million for him.

Tom Adeyemi is also linked to be returning to Leeds.

Can't keep up with Leeds, do they even have a manager and does it matter with their owner or has he sold up ?
