Cardiff City are reportedly leading Leeds United in the race to sign Leicester City forward Tom Lawrence on loan, according to Wales Online.
The attacker has returned to the Premier League leaders after a loan spell with Blackburn, but now two of Rovers’ Championship rivals want to bring the 22-year-old in on another temporary deal.
Even though they are under a transfer embargo, the Bluebirds can still sign players on loan, and they are understood to be the frontrunners for the Wales international.
Lawrence made 21 appearances for Blackburn during the first half to his season, scoring two goals.
