Reports from Spain claim Bluebirds are keen to land Almeria winger Gaspar Panadero, who played for Spain at under-18 and under-19 level

Cardiff City boss Neil Harris is eyeing Spanish winger Gaspar Panadero as his first Bluebirds signing, according to reports.

Panadero, 21, has played for Spain at under-18 and under-19 level and Madrid-based newspaper AS claim Cardiff are one of three clubs chasing his signature.

They say Harris has eyed the flying and skillful Almeria wide-man as part of his plans for a Bluebirds promotion push in the new year.

Cardiff want to sign Panadero on a permanent basis, say AS, whereas the other two clubs are keen to land him on loan.

They are Almeria's Second Division rivals Burgos and Cypriot side Apollon Limassol.

But Panadero is reported to be more keen on a full-time move to the Bluebirds.

Harris wants to begin reshaping his squad in the January transfer window, accepting he needs to start moving players on to bring in the newcomers that he wants.

He has already taken Cardiff up to eighth in the Championship and they can go level on points with Preston and Nottingham Forest in the play-off positions with victory at Brentford this evening.

Panadero created history when he made his La Liga debut for Almeria at the age of 16 years and 277 days, coming on as a substitute against Cordoba. He became the youngest player to debut for the club and also one of the youngest players in La Liga history.

Panadero went on to play for Spain at age-grade level, before a bad knee injury hampered his progress.

However, after seven months on the sidelines he returned to action and has helped Almeria chase promotion back to La Liga this season. They are second in the table.

Panadero started the first 10 matches, but hasn't played since October and the club are ready to let him go.

Looks like neil is prepared to look abroad if true the Spanish have good young talent,plus so many other countries have loads of players available at good value for money.

About time i have wanted us to look abroad for years,
when you think of europe south america africa asia even russia there is an endless supply, we just need quality scouts, who know whats what and pick up all these gems

Which winger is on his way out then if true??? I would imagine it would be Murphy as he would bring in the biggest fee.

Or the only fee. Whilst any fee Murphy brings in will still only be for reputation and will be a sizeable loss on our outlay

Annis, you better invite Neil Harris to an Atlético Baleares for some scouting if he's looking at Spanish talent.

If he goes it will be at a large (50%)loss imho,with his form,and look of disinterest isn't doing anyone any favours?

White needs to start on saturday, of course he lacks creativity at this moment but at least he runs his socks off unlike murphy and nml

Not a Whyte fan tbh but it’s hard to argue against his inclusion after watching our 3 wingers last night.

He's a strange one,ran van dyck and Co ragged in euro qualifier,needs a chance as people have aluded to already,our wingers ain't exactly tearing it up right now

Howlett, Murphy, NML are all capable of being brilliant in this division. Surely it is up to NH to manage these players. Address the absence of class in midfield, the lack of full back cover, the lack of pace in the defence before adding yet another winger. Also we have 5 strikers when we play one up front.
NH ytalks like a league one manager. I see no future with NH in charge.

I agree. We have options for wide men who have all shown themselves to be more than capable in this division. Any loss of form and they're not selected. Same can't be said at full back. If Murphy a FB he'd still have to be starting.

Spot On .
