DEFENDER:


Cédric Kipré joins the Bluebirds on loan


viewtopic.php?f=2&t=144783


Cardiff City FC are pleased to welcome central defender Cédric Kipré to the Club on a season-long loan from West Bromwich Albion, subject to clearance.

Our twelfth summer signing began his career in the academy of Paris Saint-Germain, before moving to Leicester City in 2014. The 25-year-old went on to make his professional debut for Motherwell in July 2017.

Following a promising spell in Scotland, Cédric gained his first taste of Championship action with Wigan Athletic in 2018, enjoying two impressive seasons at the DW Stadium.

Was originally with Leicester City but failed to make an appearance.


Cédric’s fine form for the Latics saw him earn a move to the Baggies, recently promoted to the Premier League at the time.

The centre-half has made 19 appearances for Albion to date, and re-unites with his former teammate Romaine Sawyers in South Wales.

Cédric Kipré has joined the Bluebirds on loan for the 2022/23 campaign...
With permission from his parent club, Cedric trained with his new teammates for the very first time earlier today, before putting pen to paper.





Speaking after signing his loan agreement, he said:




“I’m really happy to be here. The manager showed a real interest in me, and he showed that he wanted to have me on board.

“I’d describe myself as a ball-playing centre half; aggressive on the ball and against opponents. I like to defend 1v1, as well.

“Hopefully I can play as many games as possible, stay injury free and try to help the team to achieve their goals.”

Welcome Cedric

Seems a good signing can’t say I know he’s a very good player but looking at his attributes he’s gonna slip right into the team and could be the centre back we are missing, roll on the strikers!
Looking at the signings made so far I’m silently hopeful we will get a gem of a striker by the end of the window. Have faith

Sounds perfect.
I wonder who the starting 2 or 3 centre backs will be. Great to have choice.

Hes was excellent for Wigan a few years back

Welcome Cedric!

So much for only signing lower league players. I make that 6 Championship players out of the 12 plus Ojo and Daley-Campbell from the Premier League. Great to see Morison getting all the backing he needs. Hopefully we can get a striker and a high profile PL loan and I think we’ll be set for an enjoyable season.

I think the signings have been brilliant, fair play to Morison and the club for backing him, I know it’s still pre season but the style of football and the players giving me hope!

Very happy with our business so far. Now all efforts must be on two strikers. A proven and a gamble.

I agree and, for me, this has a very similar feel to that of the Malky Mackay Promotion Season.

That was a season where I expected to finish around 12th. But whilst we didnt have any specific standout players (at the time) what we did have was "A TEAM" and a group of players who gave it there all - and I anticipate getting the same from the 2022/3 squad

Glad we got another CB. Is he any good? Anybody seen him play? I’ve never heard of him to be honest.

West Brom fans reckon he'll do well for us.

Very good passer which is key for our new style.

Will he be like Danny Gabbidon who had played a similar number of games as Cedric for WBA when we signed him years back?

Here's some footage of him. Think he looks very Bamba-esque with his power and aggressiveness.
