Cardiff City reportedly considering move for Besiktas midfielder Tolgay Arslan.


Monday 4th June 2018

Cardiff City are reportedly interested in snapping up Besiktas midfielder Tolgay Arslan.

According to Turkish outlet Takvim , the midfielder has also been the subject of interest from Serie A giants Roma and Inter, but Cardiff are nevertheless considering a possible bid of around £7 million.

Arslan would surely be seen as something of a marquee signing for the Bluebirds this summer, having made six appearances in the Champions League for Besiktas last term.

The 27-year-old, who plays in the centre of midfield, is likely to be a familiar name to some in English football, having played a crucial part in helping Besiktas knock out Liverpool in the Europa League back in 2014/15.

Should Cardiff firm up their interest in the former Germany under-21 international, he could well seek advice from Besiktas teammate Gary Medel, who became something of a cult hero during his one season with the Bluebirds.

That's a couple of players today linked with Italian teams, I wonder if we are being used by agents trying to secure deals for other clubs/ agents, or maybe that is the market we are currently in?
