Cardiff City launch 'big bid' for Serbian striker with impressive goal record
The Bluebirds are desperate to add a striker to their ranks this month.

Cardiff City have launched a bid for Valarenga striker Andrej Ilic, according to reports in Norway.

The Serbian forward, 23, scored 11 goals in 16 games last season, including nine in 13 Eliteserien appearances for the Oslo-based club.

Norwegian channel TV 2 claim Cardiff and Valarenga are locked in negotiations over the player's transfer after the Welsh side launched a "big bid" for the player. French team Toulouse had registered an interest in this window, too, but subsequently signed Shavy Babicka from Aris Limassol, with Valarenga's asking price for Ilic cited as the reason they moved on.

LATEST: Cardiff City transfer news as Bulut would sign star 'immediately', deal ruled out and Ramsey returns to training

Cardiff are said to be in the "driver's seat" regarding a deal for the Serbia youth international, who scored 42 goals and provided 17 assists for RFS in 87 appearances for the Latvian team before earning his move to the Norwegian top flight. That being said, the Championship would represent a major step up in quality.

Fellow Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt are also said to have shown an interest in the 6ft 2ins striker, however it appears the Bluebirds are in deeper negotiations with the player.

Cardiff boss Erol Bulut has spoken about the need to pivot in this transfer window, having to jump from Plan A to Plan B because he wants to get deals over the line quickly. Sign up to our daily Cardiff City newsletter here.

Speaking on Thursday about transfers and strikers, Bulut said: "I cannot wait on just one player and get him on January 31, because if not then I have nothing. I have to fix my deals before.

"I have to go to other players. If I don't get this striker, I have to go to the second one, third one, fourth one. Whichever one I get quick, I will do that. Maybe the quality there is not the quality I had as my first choice, but then I take my second one and I have a player I can use. At the end if I was waiting for my first choice and I don't get him then I don't have anything.

Quite. If hes not spamming the board with his obsession with Drakeford hes cutting and pasting the board to death.

[PhyllisStant]

Toulouse said to have been interested too but thought he was too expensive, then signed an alternative for E2.75m.

If we're paying anything like that it seems like a lot of money for a 23 year old whose highest level is 20 games in the Norwegian top flight.

If you added up the distance from goal from all those efforts put together you'd still be in the penalty box

Don't mind that, though. The defending is horrendous, though and I'm just as interested in if he can hold the ball up and bring others into play. We sorely miss that.

Wales Online claiming that if Jamilu Collins plays tomorrow it will automatically trigger a year’s extension on his contract - apparently, there’s a clause which says that he gets another year when he reaches thirty appearances.

I know his form has dropped but I’m more than happy for him to have another year.

That's a big step up for him.
Wonder if that's another we've missed out on or we were never interested in the first place.

if he signed for us he'd probably be put out on loan at Weston super mare and released after 2 years.
now he's gone to Brentford I look forward to them inevitably selling him for 30 million in 18 months time

Are Brentford that good with young players? Honest question but I don't know of anyone to break through there for ages, has Brentford 2 or whatever it is called worked?

I can when I can be bothered, patronising pr!ck I won't bother then, you can look through Wales Online adverts yourself

Marcus Forss and Chris Mepham were sold on for a fair bit. I think the right back Roerslev was in Brentford B

They have an academy now

Didn't know they'd reopened their Academy, we used to play under 18 and 21 games against them every season. Sounds like they're admitting they made a mistake in closing it in the first place, but I see they've still got a B team, rather than an Under 21 side - truth be told, I wouldn't be too bothered if City scrapped their under 21 team for all of the good it does.

Think the PL forced them to re open the academy

Ah OK. Still, none for a while then. I'm not sure it's the greatest move for him, other clubs give a lot more chances to young players.
