Media Wales Junior Reporter Glen Williams Says Chelsea and Man United are being linked with him and yet another star is coming through.
WELL GLEN I HOPE THIS LATEST PLAYER MAKES IT, AS NON STOP YOU ARE SAYING HOW MANY STARS WE KEEP PRODUCING & ARE MAKING IT, BUT WHERE ARE THEY & WHERE HAVE THEY ALL GONE??
My View Stop putting so much pressure on these kids as fans then expect real class to soon, SO just let these kids at least make it as a regular player in City's first team etc and hopefully shine.
Only over a year ago, you made out City had suddenly produced 10-12 stars, where are they now??

Who is Gabriele Biancheri, the 16-year-old Cardiff City starlet linked with Man Utd and Chelsea who just made the step up
The Bluebirds have had a line of strikers come through the academy in recent years, but have eventually failed to make the grade, but this young Bluebird is the latest to get supporters excited.

Despite the defeat by Wolves Under-21s on Saturday, there was much to be encouraged by if you are a Cardiff City fan.
One that slipped under the radar was the introduction of Wales Under-17 international Gabriele Biancheri in the second half. Darren Purse brought the 16-year-old on to replace Davies at the break.
And, despite playing five years above himself, he was the one who almost provided the equaliser for the young Bluebirds at Leckwith, showing just why faith was placed in him to make the step up to the under-21s.
He latched on to a looped through ball before bringing it under his spell, opening up his body and attempting to bend it into the corner. However, Wolves keeper Andreas Sondergaard saved well.
The step up from the under-18s is just reward for the positive start to the campaign which Biancheri has enjoyed. He has 17 goals and five assists in all football over the last few months, including a brace against Bristol City last week for the under-18s which saw Cardiff come away with the spoils in the Severnside derby.
