Ebou Adams is a Bluebird

We are delighted to announce that Ebou Adams has agreed a three-year deal to join the Bluebirds, subject to clearance.

The midfielder links up with Cardiff City having spent three seasons with Forest Green Rovers, playing a key part in the side who won the League Two title in 2021/22.

Adams, who joins the Bluebirds officially from July 1st, 2022 at the conclusion of his current deal, is a Gambia international, who appeared for his country at this year's Africa Cup of Nations. He has 11 caps so far on the international stage.

Adams aged 26 contract with Forest Green this June, so Cardiff get the league 2 player on a free.



ADAMS:

"I'm excited and I can't wait to get started," he began. "I spoke to the manager and I was delighted with his plans, and I just wanted to be involved. We spoke about the style of football we would be playing, and it is a style I really like. Hopefully I can be part of the team that takes Cardiff City back to where they belong.

"I'm an all-round midfielder. The fans can expect 110% from me and for me to play with a smile on my face."

Really positive 1st signing. Bit of energy and legs in midfield. Something we’ve lacked for a few years.

Really good start to the summer recruitment in my opinion. Well done SM for getting this done so quickly.

Welcome to Cardiff Ebou.

most tackles in L2 only just turned 26, great start

In the pre covid world, clubs rarely let younger players' contracts run down, they would have sold them on by now. We are in a great position this off season with so much salary available.

We'll still plead poverty then have a half-decent sqaud.

Excellent first signing. Welcome to the club :bluescarf:

If our signings are coming from lower leagues, these are the types of players we need to be targeting!

Great that he sounds like someone who will give us a bit of drive in midfield.

Important that we got it done early as from what I hear he was in demand.

Unproven at this level but we have to take a punt on some and he’s certainly not in the latter years of his career.

Promising signs.

Sounds good. Whilst I don't know much about him, I've been very impressed on the occasions I've seen Forest Green play this season, nice style of football played at pace.

I've just been messaged by someone who has monitored Adams and say he's a hidden gem.

We make one signing who the majority of people thinks is a good acquisition and you think we are building for div 1? So your basing your prediction on one player.. crazy absolutely crazy...
Better to wait for start season when we actually know who we've signed. :roll:

Ok he's a world beater my bad :lol: nothing crazy about it like I said let's hope I'm wrong. He's unproven at div 1 let alone champ but he must have something for him to be signed bar cheaper wages :bluescarf:

Paul, I have heard of Eboue but not enough to know too much about his Championship promise; but your knowledgeable son, who follows football as an entity has said he is very impressed with this signing and that is good enough for me! :clap: :ayatollah:

Correct Allan, there’s always a few that look on the negative and dark side of things.

For me, I’ve never heard of him but I’m looking positively at this signing.

I’d rather try signings like this than the wasted millions of players like Maxine for example.

Cnt say heared of him othbthsn occasionally on ssn when report on their games... but he is rated by people so why not take punt there's lots players playing higher level after being in div 2......Bournemouth got promoted to premier league on back of lower league players... let's hope we sprinkle team with championship level players as well to help him and other possible players in divisions below us that we may sign
