Erol Bulut expects Cardiff City transfer news next week as he responds to Aaron Ramsey questions

Cardiff City manager Erol Bulut expects to have transfer news next week as Bluebirds fans wait to find out if Aaron Ramsey may be making a sensational return to the club.

Ramsey is out of contract, with an emotional Bluebirds homecoming one option he is considering.

Cardiff are set to sign two players in the coming days - with former Chelsea striker Ike Ugbo a prime target. Dimitrios Goutas, who has previously represented Vincent Tan-owned club Kortrijk, is another player of interest. He currently plays in Turkey for Sivasspor.

While any new signings will excite supporters, it is Ramsey's potential signature that has the power to sell thousands of extra season tickets.

Bulut was coy when Ramsey's name was mentioned following the 2-0 win over Penybont but revealed he had spoken to the Welshman recently when Wales played Armenia.

Asked what the latest he could say on Ramsey was, Bulut replied: “I will tell you more next week if we can get to sign some players, so then you will know."

Pushed on if he had met Ramsey or planned on meeting him next week, Bulut said: “I met him in the stadium when he was playing against Armenia. I saw him play, that’s it.

“Maybe. Maybe I’m going to meet him following this. We will see, we never know."

Speaking more generally on the prospect of new signings Bulut said: "We are working on it. Of course, it’s not easy because we can do only free transfers. I hope in a short time that we can have some movements in that direction."

Ramsey, who is now a free agent and was at the Vale on Friday, recently admitted he would like to return to Cardiff one day, adding: "I've always said that one day I'd love to go back there. I think there are a few things that need sorting out over the next few weeks."
