Cardiff City evening transfer headlines as duo to leave on loan and striker set to sign

Here is your evening transfer deadline day update for Cardiff City.

Duo leave on loan

Cardiff City youngsters Jack Leahy and Tom Davies have penned loan deals with Cymru Premier teams.

Leahy, a winger who can also play as a No.10, will link up with Haverfordwest County, while left-back Davies will join Pontypridd United.

It is understood that it is Cardiff's preference to send them to Welsh clubs as they believe in and are passionate about bettering the standard of Wales' top league and investing in the pyramid in this country.

The Bluebirds also wanted the duo in Wales so that they could return and train with Cardiff on a daily basis to monitor their progress even more closely.

Leahy has been in Cardiff's academy a couple of years after joining from Brighton and Steve Morison spoke highly of him in pre-season ahead of the campaign. However, the 20-year-old has had precious few first-team opportunities and it was believed regular men's football would aid his progress.

Similarly with Davies, too, who looked to be in the fold during one pre-season under Mick McCarthy. He hasn't quite pushed on, though, with Joel Bagan also playing a number of under-21s games this season owing to losing his spot in the first team.

Zohore tipped for return to Denmark

Former Cardiff City striker Kenneth Zohore is reportedly set to confirm a return to Denmark.

The striker was released by West Bromwich Albion on deadline day, having endured a nightmare stint at the Baggies following his £8m move back in 2019.

The 29-year-old made just two league appearances for the west Midlands side in three seasons, and netted three goals in the last three-and-a-half years.

Danish outlet BT claims the striker, in search of a fresh start, is set to return to former club OB, who could now offer him a deal until the end of the season.

In a statement confirming his exit, West Brom said: "Albion have today terminated the contract of Kenneth Zohore by mutual consent.

"The 29-year-old striker joined the Baggies from Cardiff City in July 2019 and made 23 appearances for the club, scoring five goals.

"The club wishes Kenneth and his family all the very best for the future."

Kaba closing in on Bluebirds move

Midtjylland striker Sory Kaba appears close to confirming a loan move to Cardiff City before the close of Tuesday night's deadline.

The striker has already flown into the capital and is expected to complete a medical later today ahead of signing on with Cardiff until the end of the season.

The 27-year-old has been on the Bluebirds' radar for some time, and there's real hope he can help add a welcome injection of quality into Cardiff's efforts in the final third.

Meanwhile, the Bluebirds are believed to also be pushing for a left-back before the close of the window, although at the time of writing there's nothing imminent at this stage.

Manga finds new club

Meanwhile, former Cardiff City defender Bruno Manga has signed for ASM Belfort in the fourth tier of French football.

The 34-year-old has joined on a free transfer after leaving Dijon last summer. Manga made 160 appearances for the Bluebirds during his five-year spell in the capital, and was also a key part of Neil Warnock's plans in the Premier League.
