Cardiff City target West Ham midfielder

Cardiff City have reportedly made Hammer Robert Snodgrass one of their top transfer targets claims Wales Online. Neil Warnock wants a wide man with proven Premier League experience this summer, and in Snodgrass the veteran boss has identified a player he admires and has worked with before.

WalesOnline say they understand that Cardiff will make a move for Snodgrass in the coming weeks — preferably on loan — but West Ham may want to keep the Scottish international.

Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini is willing to give Snodgrass the chance to prove himself in pre-season after his £10.2million move from Hull City in January 2017.

The 30-year-old bid farewell to Aston Villa last week, where he spent the 2017/18 season on loan, after their 1-0 defeat to Fulham in the play-off final, prompting speculation about his future. Villa needs to plug a £45m black hole in their finances so a loan or permanent deal for Snodgrass is said to be beyond their financial reach.
