Striker signing close:
Cardiff City manager Sabri Lamouchi hopes the club get a deal over the line for free agent striker Connor Wickham.
It was revealed this week that the Bluebirds were mulling over a deal for the player, who left Forest Green Rovers last month, after first-team coach Dean Whitehead brought him into the building.
And manager Lamouchi revealed the player has been training with the club and Cardiff are trying to finalise a deal to add him to the squad in order to boost their chances of survival.
When asked if Wickham was going to sign, Lamouchi replied: "Probably. We are discussing. We are trying to sign him, so he is training with us. I hope he will be part of the squad.
"It was the timing and opportunity. We don’t have a lot of opportunity or a lot of time. He was around and training. His experience in this league can help us and help the squad.
"He has very good experience. I remember him years ago. I spoke with him and saw him on the pitch. Physically big with quality and experience."
Wickham scored six goals in 16 games in all competitions for the League One club earlier in the season and has since been searching for a club.
