Cardiff set to secure Capoue signature

29 July 2013 - 09:45

<strong>Newly promoted Premier League side Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay has confirmed that the club has agreed a fee with Toulouse over the transfer of Etienne Capoue.</strong>

  • Chelsea ready new contract for star midfielder
  • Chelsea make first move to sign Xabi Alonso
  • The highly rated French international has been linked with a move to the Premier League for the past couple of seasons but it seems that new boys Cardiff are leading the race to sign him.<br />

    It is believed that Capoue has been hopeful of making a move to a bigger English club but may be forced to join Cardiff as there has been interest from others.<br />

    "Ourselves and Toulouse have come to an agreement," said Mackay.<br />

    "We've got to then have the conversation with Etienne and his advisors, they've been very professional in terms of what they're talking about as well.<br />

    "We've been in constant dialogue with them in the last week and Toulouse have been excellent to deal with.<br />

    "It's pretty delicate at the moment. We're in discussions and negotiations but it's something that's ongoing."
