Cardiff City's push for promotion continues to roar, and in hope of realising this ambition, Neil Warnock will have funds to play with come January.

A striker tops his Christmas wish-list, but the Bluebirds boss has conceded it will have to be a temporary acquisition with a view to a permanent solution.

"We’ll look to possibly loan," said Warnock. "It’s a difficult to buy in this window unless money is no object — like it is for one or two clubs.

"It might be more advisable to loan a player, pay a loan fee and bring somebody in and possibly agree a (permanent transfer) fee if we get promotion”.

Teasing the media and fans alike, Warnock mentioned that he was looking at “five or six” players, but refused to name them.

So, who could City feasibly bring in given the financial restrictions placed upon Warnock?

It could be an individual with lost or untapped potential — like Kenneth Zohore last season — who Warnock can inspire and get firing to help the Bluebirds promotion push over the line.
