Premier League strugglers Cardiff City are taking an interest in signing Dundee midfielder Glen Kamara, according to the Herald.

Bluebirds manager Neil Warnock admitted he is an admirer of the midfield powerhouse and he could bring him to south Wales to boost the club’s survival bid.

He said of Kamara: “I have always looked at Scottish football and he is a good player. He has had an up and down start to his career but he is one of a number of Scottish lads we have looked at.”

Back in October, the Daily Mail reported that Old Firm rivals Rangers and Celtic were both keeping tabs on Kamara, whose contract with Dundee runs out at the end of the season.

The presence of Premier League riches in the chase for Kamara alters its complexion and means that both Brendan Rodgers and Steven Gerrard are on the back foot as it stands.

Cardiff have not broken the bank to try and survive, but the sheer scale of the money they have now for simply being in the Premier League means they can put together a package that no side in Scotland is able to match.

Celtic lost out to Aston Villa for John McGinn in the summer and will not want to lose another midfield target at the hands of a side south of the border.
