Cardiff City reportedly tracking Celtic and Rangers striker

Cardiff City reportedly tracking Celtic and Rangers striker target - but there's a twist

Thursday 4th April 2019

The forward is highly regarded

Cardiff City are in the running to sign Hearts striker Uche Ikpeazu, according to reports.

The 24-year-old, who scored for the Edinburgh outfit at the weekend, is a wanted man and is being tracked by Scottish giants Celtic and Rangers.

The Daily Mail report that Cardiff are also interested - but they will only make a move for the Harrow-born man if they are relegated to the Championship next season, state the publication.

Neil Warnock has Kenneth Zohore and Oumar Niasse at his disposal at present, with Gary Madine and Omar Bogle out on loan.

Niasse will return to parent club Everton at the end of the season.

Ikpeazu forward was with Cambridge last term and has attracted the attention of scouts from across the country.

He has only just signed a new deal north of the border, his new contract expiring in the summer of 2022.

The 6ft 3in Ikpeazu missed a fair chuck of the season due to a foot injury and has scored five goals.

Obviously depends what league we are in but if we stay up we need 2 strikers.

If we go down probably 1

Keep that bloodsucker MacKay away from this.

Bloody well hope not. 13 goals in 40 games in league 2 last season and 2 goals in 13 games for Hearts. Haven't we got enough strikers that cant score and we cant get rid of. Hopefully this is one of those made up rumours like when we were linked with that Kamara guy that plays for Rangers now.

Agent agitating for a move, trying to stir up a bit of business.

Certainly nothing on the Rangers Boards about it.

Why would we be looking at a player when no idea what league we are in next season ?

No that board will be moaning about Scott Brown all week.
