Newly promoted Cardiff City are set to bid for Stoke City striker Kenwyne Jones in order to add Premier League experience to their squad this summer according to the Daily Mirror.
The Bluebirds are set to spend big but wisely this summer with owner Vincent Tan backing boss Malky Mackay.
Cardiff are not blessed with a whole host of Premier League stars and so a building job will have to be done this summer to prevent them turning into a one hit wonder along the lines of Reading.
Stoke are willing to allow Jones to leave the Britannia Stadium this summer after his impact was limited this season and the lack of goals for the Potters has been a real worry.
Cardiff may have to cough up almost £7million to sign the Trinidad and Tobago striker who has netted just once in his past 21 games.
Stoke are looking to add at least one striker to their squad this summer too.

Tottenham Hotspur may need to strengthen their midfield this summer as the future of Mousa Dembele remains uncertain.
According to The Mirror, the North London outfit are willing to listen to offers for the Belgian international, despite the fact that he has been an influential figure in Mauricio Pochettino’s team this season.
Tottenham fans have been vocal in their praise for Dembele, but it seems unlikely that the 30-year-old will be gracing the pitch at the club’s new stadium in the 2018-19 campaign.
With that in mind, it is time to look at potential alternatives, and one name that has been doing the rounds in the media is Bryan Cristante.
The 23-year-old currently plies his trade at Serie A side Atalanta, where he is based for the season on loan from Benfica.
The midfielder has made 30 appearances in Italy’s top flight and he has found the back of the net eight occasions in that period.
Despite his young age, Cristante has won two Primeira Liga titles, as well as the Portuguese League Cup twice.
The Mirror claims that the midfielder is one of the players being targeted by the North London outfit, while Barcelona’s Andre Gomes is also an option.
Cristante has shown versatility this season in that he can play in an attacking midfield role as well as more centrally.

While playing further up the field, the Italian has contributed with five goes, and from the middle of the park he has scored six.
With all that being said, do you think that Tottenham should make a move for Cristante this summer?
Brendan Rodgers has been Liverpool’s manager for the past three years and as this chaotic season wraps up you can’t help but wonder if the Irishman is still the right man to take the club forward.
Liverpool have always had big ambitions, so it is unfortunate that in this last season the Reds have found themselves out of the running for every trophy going with five games still to play.
The case was similar in his first year in charge, in which the Reds only placed as high as seventh. It was a slight improvement on their previous one and as Rodgers was getting accustomed to a new environment and new challenges it was perhaps not a true reflection of his ability to manage the high profile club.
However, the fact that Liverpool, a club which was once respected across Europe, took a chance on Rodgers was actually quite surprising considering that he’d only had one year’s experience of the Premier League before taking the job.
Rodgers’ sound work with Swansea City – leading them up from the Championship and then an 11th place finish in their maiden top-flight campaign – made him an interesting prospect.
[ffc-gal cat=”liverpool” no=”5″]
You can understand why the club thought he had the potential to turn around a struggling team, but with no European experience perhaps the appointment was rather short-sighted.
The only season in which Rodgers has shown anything more than potential at Liverpool was the last.
The Reds started the campaign in a determined fashion winning, all three of their initial league games and thus secured Rodgers the Manager of the Month award for August. A second award followed in March leaving no doubt that Rodgers was having the best managerial season of his life. But the real stars were on the pitch.
Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling were an effective and formidable unit breaking through everything in their path. Only Manchester City had a better campaign, ultimately claiming the top spot with Liverpool just two points behind. But with success came unwanted attention and Suarez’s 31 goals made him a prime target for the best teams in Europe.
Now that the Uruguayan has left Merseyside, perhaps we are seeing what Rodgers is really capable of. Obviously a decent manager but he seems destined to struggle to break into the top four if he doesn’t have a truly world class striker to fire him to glory.
Liverpool knew Suarez was probably going to leave last year and yet the best replacement they could muster was Mario Balotelli. Now the Italian has always shown potential along his travels but was unlikely to ever be a good enough alternative to the ridiculously prolific Suarez.

It is unlikely that Liverpool will get the chance to sign a player of Suarez’s quality in the upcoming summer transfer window as the top players want Champions League football, and that doesn’t seem possible failing a catastrophic implosion by one of the Manchester clubs.
So Rodgers is likely to struggle once again next season and supporters will continue to question if he has what it takes to elevate the club back into being one of England’s dominant top four teams.
For a team as rich in history as Liverpool F.C, there hasn’t half been some tosh pull on the famous red shirt and walk past the ‘This is Anfield’ sign. Although the Reds might have picked up seven domestic trophies and three European ones since the inception of the Premier League, they have never quite managed to pull off the big one, indeed their last league title came under Kenny Dalglish in 1990.
Although there have been some great players turning out for the club in the Premier League era, think Steven Gerrard, Sami Hyypia or Robbie Fowler, some of their other signings have been simply miserable. Old boss Rafa Benitez had a reputation for loading his squad with unheard-of, and often useless players, while more recently, Kenny Dalglish went the other way, paying big fees for overrated talent.
There are a lot of contenders for such a team, but we’ve selected the worst XI signings to play for Liverpool in the Premier League era. See if you agree:

On Wednesday night, one of the tournament favourites Barcelona were knocked out of the Champions League, and now Arsenal fans are getting jittery.
The Spanish giants had a commanding 4-1 lead heading into their quarter-final second leg against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.
Many would have predicted a relatively comfortable evening for Lionel Messi and co, but it was far from it, as Roma ripped up the script and earned a 3-0 victory.
Edin Dzeko’s 80th-minute goal at the Camp Nou proved to be crucial as the Serie A giants progressed into the semi-finals on away goals.

Arsenal, whose fans have been calling for club legend Thierry Henry to replace Arsene Wenger as manager, are in a similar situation to Barcelona in that they have a 4-1 lead over CSKA Moscow in their Europa League quarter-final.

The Gunners’ only realistic hope of qualifying for next season’s Champions League is by winning Europa.
Even though Olivier Giroud has been in impressive form of late and Danny Welbeck only arrived last summer, Arsenal appear to be keen on landing a new central striker, with rumours having suggested that they’re chasing a range of targets ahead of the looming transfer window for some time.
The latest name to have cropped up is Anderlecht’s impressive Serbian Aleksandar Mitrovic, who is quite a player. The 20-year-old has been earning rave reviews for his performances in Belgian football with Anderlecht, where he’s already considered to be one of the top tier’s best players, despite his tender age.
However, chances are many Gunners may not know the full story when it comes to Mitrovic, so here are FIVE things to get you by!
[interaction ]
He’s scored more goals than any Arsenal player this season
Arsenal top scorer across all competitions this season is Alexis Sanchez with a tally of 18… Mitrovic has 21 in all competitions. Okay, the difference in quality between the Belgian top tier and the Premier League and the Champions League and Europa League is clear, but the Serbian is still finding the net, which is the hardest part of football at any level.
As the video below shows, he can score all sorts of goals, too!
He’s the ‘new Zlatan Ibrahimovic’
Due to his spiky character, physical stature – he stands at 6ft 3” – and silky skills, Mitrovic has been likened to Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Although accused of being a ‘big game bottler’ by some lazy fans, ‘Ibra’ is one of the most gifted players in the modern era, who has won league titles in Spain, Italy, France and the Netherlands. He must have been doing something right!
He’s a real hot-head
Last season Mitrovic was sent off twice for Anderlecht – he was a teenager at the time – and has also been punished for his feisty nature at international level – he missed a big chunk of the EURO U-19 championships in 2012 after being sent off in his side’s opener against France.
Arsenal have wanted him for some time…
Mitrovic is by no means a ‘new kid on the block’ for Arsenal’s scouts, who have been assessing him since 2013, when he was playing for Partizan Belgrade. At the time, he was likened to Nicklas Bendtner (Ouch!), but that shouldn’t put off Gunners fans, with the 20-year-old a supremely talented footballer who has come on leaps and bounds in the past few years.

Jose Mourinho loves him…
“Mitrovic was the best player on the pitch. He managed to keep the ball well and that was the key.
“That boy has everything to be a European star.”
Chances are most Arsenal fans dislike Jose Mourinho. However, it’s hard to argue that the Portuguese coach doesn’t know what he’s on about when it comes to the beautiful game, making his praise (above) of Mitrovic after he netted his first international goal for Serbia against Croatia back in 2013 particularly interesting.
This year we have witnessed an historic Capital One Cup competition, with shocks occurring throughout all stages of the competition. It’s been a season of rekindling the romance of domestic cup football, particularly with the ascendancy of Bradford City, who claimed three Premier League scalps on their climb to the final at Wembley. A true year of surprises, the fans have played a huge part in making this year’s competition one for the history books.
Swindon travelled to the Britannia and emerged victorious over Stoke, Leeds fought hard for an epic win over Premier League side Everton, and, most fantastical of all, the Bantams of League 2, Bradford City battled to consecutive victories over Premier League teams Wigan, Arsenal and Aston Villa to book their place in the final. The fans have been vital in turning this year’s competition into a classic – so here are five games where the fans really made a difference.

Aston Villa fans have been discussing the possible return of Jonathan Kodjia, and most are in agreement to save him for the playoffs.
You’d be hard pushed to find another player that has had two debut seasons in the Championship quite like Jonathan Kodjia, scoring 19 league goals in his first season with Bristol City before achieving the exact same tally in his first season at Villa Park.
The towering striker missed the first part of this season through ankle injury though, and only managed one goal on his return before needing further ankle surgery in November.
Villa are currently fourth, safe in the playoff places but seven points behind an automatic promotion spot, meaning it is almost definite that the side will be in the playoffs this year.
They travel to Hull this weekend, and after playing a few friendlies behind closed doors Kodjia could be available for a spot on the bench.
Fans aren’t keen to take any chances though, hoping the Ivory Coast international can wait for full fitness and then fire them back to the Premier League.

Now that January has flown by, it’s time to look forward to the summer transfer window – one Manchester United are allegedly already making astronomical plans for.
It will be hard for the Red Devils to outdo their £150million spending spree last summer, but their rumoured record-breaking £120million bid for Gareth Bale, currently in the pipeline, would certainly put them on the right track.
It goes without saying that the former Tottenham Hotspur star is one of the world’s best in his position – but does that alone justify his incredible price-tag?
Being the stingy bunch we are at Football Fancast, we think the Old Trafford side could find better value for money on the current market. And just to prove it, here’s FIVE cheaper alternatives to Gareth Bale United should be considering.
Interested clubs: Real Madrid, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, according to The Daily Star
Likely transfer fee: £20million release clause
THE LOWDOWN
The most convincing suggestion on this list by quite some way, despite being widely considered as one of the top attacking talents in world football, boasting incredible 47 goals and 29 assists in his last 99 appearances for Borussia Dortmund, not to mention the German Footballer of the Year for 2012 and the Bundesliga Player of the Year award for the 2013/14 campaign, Marco Reus will be available for just £20million next summer due to a release clause.
Capable of operating on either flank, as a No.10 or as a pacey poacher, there’s a plethora of roles Manchester United could deploy the supremely talented 25 year-old in, being equally adept in the duties of goal-scorer and provider.
Resultantly however, the German international’s list of potential suitors has no end. Every major club in Europe will be baying for his signature when the transfer market reopens, so the Red Devils should expect seismic competition when pursuing Bundesliga star.
ROBERTO FIRMINO
Age: 23
Height: 5 foot 11
Position: Attacking midfielder, Winger, Striker
Teams: Figueriense, Hoffenheim, Brazil
Honours: Bundesliga Breakthrough Player of the Season 2013/14
Interested clubs: Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, according to The Express
Likely transfer fee: £20million, per The Express once again
THE LOWDOWN
Another Bundesliga talent Manchester United should be strongly considering as an alternative to Gareth Bale, Roberto Firmino has set the German top flight alight over the last 18 months with 16 goals and 21 assists in his last 53 league appearances, consequentially earning him a spot in the Brazil national team fold.
The 23 year-old is blessed with prolific pace, top-class dribbling ability and potency in front of goal, but blends it with fluid creativity and a fantastic work ethic, averaging 2.2 chances created and 2.9 successful tackles per match this term respectively.
Whether he’s quite up to Manchester United’s standard just yet remains open to debate. But after four campaigns of continuous individual success at Hoffenheim, accompanied by an obvious pattern of development, the South American is certainly upon the peripheries of Europe’s wideman elite.
Firmino could be well worth the punt if the Old Trafford outfit can attain his services for around the £15million-£20million mark.
KOKE
Age: 23
Height: 5 foot 10
Position: central midfield, winger, No.10
Teams: Atletico Madrid, Spain
Honours: Europa League 2011/12, Copa del Rey 2013, La Liga, 2013/14, Champions League runner-up 2014
Interested clubs: Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United, according to The Express
Likely transfer fee: £48million release clause
THE LOWDOWN
Not an out-and-out winger but certainly a talent that would improve the quality of United’s squad, Koke has been mooted as Xavi’s successor in the Spanish national team by the Barcelona icon himself and played a major role in Atletico Madrid’s incredible haul of trophies under Diego Simeone.
Over the last three seasons, he’s claimed ten goals and 30 assists in 89 La Liga appearances, also creating an astronomical 184 chances at goal for his team-mates. Combine that creativity with the incredible industry Simeone demands from all his players and the flexibility to adopt any position in the middle of the park, and it’s easy to see why Koke is receiving such widespread acclaim.
The 15-cap Spaniard is starting to outgrow Vincente Calderon and his £48million release clause, although a lofty figure, represents fantastic value for money in the long-term. His passion for the Mattress Makers remains undoubted however, so Koke may be unwilling to move on just yet.
PEDRO
//www.youtube.com/embed/wFlQj6PB_ig
Age: 27
Position: Winger-forward
Teams: FC Barcelona, Spanish national team
Honours: Four La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey titles, two Champions League titles, World Cup 2010, European Championship 2012
Interested clubs: Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, according to The Express
Likely transfer fee: £25million, according to The Metro
THE LOWDOWN
Under a transfer embargo until 2016, convincing Barcelona to part with any of their first team personnel between now and then will be a rather tall order.
Yet, one player they might be forced to say goodbye to in the coming summer is winger Pedro, having slumped behind the likes of Neymar and Luis Suarez in the Nou Camp pecking order to make just ten La Liga starts this season.

He boasts an impressive return of 94 goals in 290 appearances for the Catalans, as well as 16 in 47 for Spain, and in addition to the 27 year-old’s famed netting prowess, he offers fantastic stamina and relentless industry – having served as Lionel Messi’s unofficial work-horse for the best part of eight years.
Equally adept on either flank or as an out-and-out striker, he’d hugely increase the depth of United’s options in the final third, and offer a more athletic, penetrative kind of service to their current forward options.
Former team-mate Alexis Sanchez has exploded onto the Premier League stage and Pedro possesses the quality and mentality to do the same. Once again however, the biggest obstacle the Red Devils face is convincing Barca to sell.
RAHEEM STERLING
Age: 20
Height: 5 foot 7
Position: Winger, No.10, Striker
Teams: Liverpool, England
Honours: Liverpool Young Player of the Year 2014, European Golden Boy 2014
Interested clubs: Real Madrid and Chelsea, according to The Express, Manchester City according to Manchester Evening News
Likely transfer fee: £35million, according to Mirror Football
THE LOWDOWN
A Manchester United swoop for Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling would likely be remembered as one of the most controversial transfers in Premier League history. The last player to move between the two Northern giants was Phil Chisnall way back in 1967, and their historic rivalry has further intensified since.
Yet, there are some crucial facts to remember here; namely that the Three Lions prodigy was born in Jamaica, raised in London and is originally a product of QPR’s academy, so his loyalty to the Anfield outfit is certainly lesser than the likes of Steven Gerrard or Jamie Carragher for example.
Furthermore, the attacking-midfielder-cum-centre-forward is continually delaying on extending his current contract past 2017, so if negotiations drag on until the summer, a sizeable offer could convince the Reds to sell.
That may seem like a long shot and would certainly ruffle a lot of feathers on Merseyside. But the England international’s immense quality is undoubted and his importance to Liverpool has already reached talisman status at just 20 years of age.
Anointed as Europe’s Golden Boy and boasting 16 goals and twelve assists from his first 82 Premier League appearances, an audacious swoop for the Anfield star could resolve United’s winger problems for the next decade.
The streets of North London have always harboured an abundance of pessimism toward their football clubs, but while Arsenal slip further away from their title-chasing ambitions, there are plenty of reasons for a spot of New Year cheer at White Hart Lane.
The decision to replace loveable rogue Harry Redknapp with failed adolescent Andre Villas-Boas left many with an overwhelming sense of dread. A number of media personnel appeared desperate to help orchestrate another downfall, fuelled by an unconvincing start to the season that had some fans reaching for the panic button.
However, this is not the same manager that was seen cowering on the touchline at Stamford Bridge, having instead instilled a sense of balance and rhythm into a side that was once constantly threatened by tactical naivety. As the January transfer window gathers pace, the club find themselves in a similar position to last year, confident in their ability to stay there.
The announcement of Lewis Holtby’s arrival is the latest talented individual set to swap the Bundesliga for the Premier League. It also represents a potential milestone with Spurs fending off the interest of several parties to secure his signature. Does this mean the club are now an attractive and realistic option for the world’s most promising players? Is this the first of many renowned faces destined for the Lane?
It’s difficult to believe that just five years ago Spurs splurged £35m on the look-away-now trio of David Bentley, Roman Pavlyuchenko and Wilson Palacios. But, like any good businessman, chairman Daniel Levy has learned from his mistakes and last summer completed the shrewd captures of Moussa Dembele, Jan Vertonghen and Clint Dempsey.
There was a whiff of déjà vu when the club were lured into the misleading euphoria surrounding Gylfi Sigurdsson, but at just 23 years of age this gamble may still bear fruit in years to come. At present, the tabloid gossip columns are filled with a distinctly superior calibre of names and the purchase of Willian, Leandro Damiao or Younes Belhanda would certainly deliver a formidable sign of intent.
Joao Moutinho is perhaps the most important prospective new signing, in terms of replacing the methodical brilliance of Luka Modric and issuing a prominent gesture of support for Villas-Boas. However, the Portuguese playmaker’s decision is likely to rest solely on the likelihood of obtaining Champions League football next season, which places a fierce onus on the team to achieve another top four finish.
In short, Champions League qualification is essential in completing this transitional phase. It will help distinguish the club from the likes of Everton, Newcastle and even Liverpool as they attempt to make their transfer stall the most appealing in the market. A place in the top four will also surely come at the expense of Arsenal and that alone should provide the greatest incentive of all.
Despite a two-year absence from what is now the most infamous competition in football, the club is still a desirable destination for those looking to resurrect their career as well as build upon it. Both Rafael van der Vaart and Emmanuel Adebayor discovered a platform to reinvent themselves after growing stale from big money moves and while the likes of Dimitar Berbatov and Luka Modric effectively used the club as a stepping-stone, their resulting struggles perhaps indicate the grass isn’t always greener away from the Lane.
Before my promising foresight reaches a state of delirium, it’s worth highlighting the worrying lack of experience that currently resides in the playing squad. Brad Friedel has been ushered away from first-team duty and Scott Parker is still plodding along on the road to recovery, which means many are looking at William Gallas for a sense of leadership and unwavering strength. Hardly reassuring is it?
I haven’t even mentioned the departure of Mr Tottenham himself Ledley King, a talisman the club will perhaps never be able to effectively replace at the heart of the club. It’s not as if there are plenty of candidates waiting in line, especially considering Villas-Boas apparent disdain for the veteran members of his team.
There is a strange and yet somewhat unsurprising feeling among supporters that both manager and chairman are satisfied with the strength of their squad. Perhaps those fears will be allayed by the statistic that Spurs are the third highest spenders in January (£91m) since the transfer window came into force. This is undoubtedly a result of the club trying to revive their ailing fortunes in previous seasons and while this is no longer the case, there will be an even greater desire to cement their position at the summit of the league.

Former Tottenham director of football Damien Comolli has insisted there will be plenty of opportunities to conduct exciting business this month.
“I’ve never seen a seller’s market as it is now – you’ve got sides in Europe who are ready to write off their seasons and clear their wage bills. They are literally saying, ‘everybody is for sale’.” (BBC)
And when there is a sale on, who better to have at your disposal than Daniel ‘The Bargain Hunter’ Levy?
