Cardiff City legend and radio pundit Nathan Blake claims the Bluebirds are closing in on a pay-as-you-play deal for Andy Carroll.
The 33-year-old is currently a free agent after leaving West Bromwich Albion earlier this summer, having previously been with Reading on a short-term deal.
Cardiff are firmly in the market for a new striker before the close of the window as Steve Morison looks for added firepower in the final third, having seen Uche Izpeazu, Jordan Hugill and James Collins depart earlier in the window.
