Cardiff City have named Adana Demirspor’s Babou Ndiaye on their list of potential midfield targets, according to Sports Digitale reporter Ertan Suzgun.
Cardiff City boss Erol Bulut wasted no time in using his Turkish Super Lig connections to bring in new players in the summer, as Dimitrios Goutas and Manolis Siopis arrived from Sivasspor and Trabzonspor respectively.
Bulut is looking to bolster the Bluebirds’ ranks in the next two weeks before the January window closes, and may be adopting a similar transfer strategy once again.
According to Suzgun, Cardiff City have named Ndiaye on their list of transfer targets ahead of a potential swoop this month. The Adana Demirspor midfielder has previous in England having played for Stoke City in both the Premier League and Championship.
The 33-year-old has played just 11 times out of a possible 27 in all competitions. Therefore, he may be surplus to requirements and seek a move elsewhere, with Cardiff City hoping to be the beneficiaries.
A solid option
Ndiaye has played in the Premier League and in Europe’s biggest competitions such as the Champions League and the Europa League and so someone with his experience will be a solid option for Cardiff City.
His experience of playing in the Championship will also stand him in good stead and will hugely benefit the Bluebirds if they can get the deal over the line. Bulut could use his knowledge of and connections in the Superlig to fast-track a move through if all parties see fit.
Cardiff City are yet to sign a first-team player this window and they are certainly in need of reinforcements given their league position. Ndiaye would likely come straight into the first-team fold and improve their squad, which, in turn, will improve their chances of putting some distance between themselves and the relegation zone.

Oh yes! That I wont argue with. To be fair with Twine he had an injury that kept him out for half a season last year so hes only really had two half seasons for two different clubs. Now onto his third club at this level in the space of 12 months, not sure swapping clubs every half season is best for his development. Have Wurzels done a deal to sign him permanently at end of season? Seems strange hes swapped Hull for them when he was starting for Hull and their doing better than Bristol. That said he did play for their manager at MK Dons, maybe he can get the very best out of him.
That last sentence could be very relevant. I would have thought Burnley would have signed him on more than a two year contract, so they might want to keep him if they are in the Championship next season, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the wurzels want to sign Twine in the summer because I think his loan will go well.

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.
"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.
"It's all small details with all the players. That's why we try, sometimes it's not finance. Sometimes it is. Many small details."
