Crystal Palace midfielder James McArthur has emerged as a target for newly promoted Cardiff City.

The 30-year-old has been a key figure in Palace's survival fight this season and Cardiff manager Neil Warnock recognises he needs a player of McArthur's experience and capabilities to give his side extra 'streetsense' in the top flight.

Warnock was Crystal Palace manager when he signed McArthur from for £7million in 2014 and has kept a keen interest in the Scotland international's career.

Warnock, who also wants to sign West Brom striker Salomon Rondon, believes he needs up to eight players to bolster his squad for next season.

However, he could face competition for McArthur with Aston Villa and Rangers also showing interest. Much though will depend on Villa's promotion bid and what funds Steven Gerrrard is given at Ibrox.

McArthur has two years left on contract at Selhurst Park but it is understood manager Roy Hodgson wants to strengthen in that department this summer with Frenchman Yohan Cabaye also expected to move on.

I think he’d be a good signing.

Him and Rondon seem to be the first two that the papers have, probably blindly, suggested we’re interested in this summer. The first of many.

Glad the transfer window ends earlier.

Good solid players

Forgot all about that. Good stuff.

Can't see McArthur leaving when he's just signed a two year extension.

And we're off.....

Out if contract isn't he?

Would be a good signing. These are the type of signing we need and not to go stupid I think a lot of the current team can make the step up so just a matter of supplement the squad we already have

Well then they'll prob be the last two we'll sign then.

I thought I read that he has 2 years left on contract?

Cardiff City target Crystal Palace midfielder James McArthur after securing Premier League football – reports


Cardiff City have been linked with a possible move for Crystal Palace and Scotland midfielder James McArthur.

McArthur is one of just a number of players who has been linked with a move to the South Wales capital, after they secured promotion to the Premier League on Sunday, following a goalless draw with Reading.

The 30-year-old was brought to Selhurst Park by current Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock back in 2014 for a few of £7m.

The Daily Mail says that the Bluebirds are looking for players with experience in the Premier League as they prepare for the first top-flight campaign since 2014.

However, McArthur still has two years remaining on his contract with the Eagles after confirming it with a Crystal Palace podcast earlier this month.

Warnock is a long-term admirer of McArthur, having followed him at his days in the Scottish Premier League with Hamilton Academical, before moving to Wigan Athletic where he won an FA Cup.

Central midfielders will be a necessity for Cardiff, with Craig Bryson and Marko Grujic set to return to their parent clubs Derby County and Liverpool, following the end of their loan.

As well as Bryson and Grujic returning to their clubs, Aron Gunnarsson’s contract hasn’t been extended with the club yet, with the Icelandic captain set to play in this year’s World Cup, with a decision needed before he sets off for Russia. This would leave just Joe Ralls, Lee Tomlin and Loic Damour as the Bluebirds central midfielders.

Transfer business is expected to take place earlier this year, with the window opening on the 9th May and closing on the 9th August, one week before the season begins.

I think rondon is either same or worse than zohore I'd rather go for someone better

Would rather his mate, Jay Rodriguez tbh. Or go for Danny Ings, Mitrovic, or Andre Gray or we could see if our good relationship with Liverpool would allow us to take Divock Origi on loan.

Divock origi hasnt done particularly well in the budesliga so don't think he will cut it but Jay Rodriguez I'd be up for that seem to do well
