Cardiff City are considering former Tottenham star

Cardiff City consider move for ex-Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham star Lewis Holtby - reports

Sunday 6th May 2019


Cardiff City are considering former Tottenham star Lewis Holtby this summer.

Free agent Holtby has just been released by Bundesliga 2 side Hamburg.

The 28-year-old has been back in Germany since 2015, after two years with Tottenham and a loan stint with Fulham.

Holtby was the talk of European football a few years ago, with England courting him before he pledged his allegiance to Germany, where he was born.

His return to his homeland hasn't gone to plan, with Hamburg relegated from the German top flight last season.


He will leave the club this summer and Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock is said to be looking at him.

As a free agent Holtby would certainly fit the bill for Cardiff , who plan to bring in up to six players this summer in an attempt to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

Holtby is a midfielder with an attacking sense, and with Victor Camarasa and Harry Arter both returning to their parent clubs after spending stints in South Wales, a move for the former Spurs man would add up.

The Bluebirds have already been linked with Rotherham and Wales man Will Vaulks this summer, as well as Portsmouth's Jamal Lowe .

Would have liked him to have signed for us when he went to Fulham, not too sure now he’s leaving the German 2nd division though

I think this is an agent alerting all clubs that he's got a player available.I agree he's worth a look though.

Convenient didn't Walesonline run a story off that supporter guy who does the rubbish columns saying he would recommend him.

I watch it on BT Sport and is every bit as good as the championship and very well supported. Hamberg v St Pauli was played in front of 57k fans. They averaged 48k home attendance this season. Köln were averaging 49k, St Pauli 30k and Dresden averaging 28k.

He’s still only 28 so still got a lot to offer. He’s a very good signing if we can get him.

yes Scott Johnson suggested he would be a good fit for us...not a rumour , but its that time of the year that if mr magoo suggested today by Wednesday many of these sites will have re hashed it as a rumour..

They probably told him to do it with this article in mind.
