Cardiff City are on the verge of completing a deal for Nigerian international Gabriel Osho from French side Auxerre, according to reports from L’Équipe, Nigeriasoccernet.com writes.
Osho, 27, joined Auxerre on a free transfer last summer after leaving Luton Town, but looks set for a swift return to the English Championship just a year later.
The centre-back, who has made over 150 senior career appearances and earned two international caps for Nigeria, is tipped to become the Bluebirds’ first outfield signing of the summer transfer window.
Cardiff manager Erol Bulut is eager to add experience and leadership to his relatively youthful squad, with Osho’s defensive qualities and top-level exposure seen as a perfect fit.
