Cardiff City have made a move for Birmingham City striker Isaac Vassell.
The Bluebirds want to bring in another option in attack before the transfer deadline on Thursday and have targeted the Blues’ forward, according to journalist Alan Nixon on Twitter.
Vassell, who is 25 years-old, is set to leave Birmingham this week having fallen out of favour there and has been linked with Championship duo Luton Town and Swansea City. However, it now appears Cardiff are in the driving seat to sign him.
He started his career at Plymouth Argyle and rose through the youth ranks at Home Park. He went onto make ten appearances for their first-team as well as enjoying loan spells at Truro City, Bideford and Weymouth.
Plymouth released Vassell in 2014 so he resigned for Truro on a permanent deal. He scored 28 goals for them in 94 games which earned him a move to Luton in 2016 after a trial.
Birmingham then paid a fee in the region of £1 million in August 2017 to sign him from Kenilworth Road. However, he has had his injury problems since his move to St Andrews and has been limited to just 24 appearances.
Cardiff lost their first game of the season 3-2 against Wigan Athletic away on Saturday and Neil Warnock now wants Vassell to give them another dimension up front.
