Cardiff set to make Gallagher bid

Sam Gallagher is believed to be a transfer target for Cardiff City.

According to a report on Wales on Line Neil Warnock is keen to bring the Southampton striker to South Wales.

Gallagher notched 11 goals last season for Blackburn Rovers with Warnock believing that the striker is capable of getting the goals to lead a promotion campaign.

After joining Cardiff in October, Championship specialist Warnock is using every day of the close season to put together a squad capable of pushing for promotion.

With Claude Puel’s position at Southampton under pressure it’s unlikely that a quick decision will be made on Gallagher’s future.

Whoever is in charge will have to decide whether to send the striker out on loan again or cash in after a successful season with Blackburn.

A number of Championship clubs have been linked with Gallagher who failed to score in his previous loan spell with MK Dons.
