Cardiff City have confirmed the completion of the signing of Armand Traore from Nottingham Forest on loan until the end of the season.
The left back was a former Warnock player at QPR and the details of the signing were only revealed after the transfer window closed.
It took more han 24 hours after that for the club to confirm all the details had been completed and Traore is a Bluebird and cleared to play.
A statement from the club reveals it's a loan deal until the end of the season.
Warnock said: “I signed Traoré from Arsenal while I was at QPR and I’ve kept an eye on him ever since. He gives us a lot of versatility down the left with his natural left foot.
“We’re delighted he is coming in as part of the squad and I’m sure he’ll be an asset to us.”
Warnock did say that he was signed before 11pm as he was there.
Every time I have seen him he blows hot and cold. Capable of looking impressive going forward. Likes a tackle some of them x rated. Can also look suspect in defence. He is pretty quick but if we are playing with wingers in front of him then I hope it doesn't negate him going forward. Maybe a more defence minded full back might be better but then he was a free and I'm glad he signed short term. Could be very useful.
