Kion Etete is drawing attention and might go on loan from Cardiff City before the January transfer window ends.
According to Alex Crook, a transfer specialist on top talkSPORT, several League One clubs are monitoring the forward.
On X, Crook posted: “Kion Etete, a striker for #CardiffCity, is anticipated to go on loan this month. Many League One clubs are interested.
Despite their struggles at the bottom of the table, Etete, who joined from Tottenham in 2022, has only six months left on his Bluebirds contract.
Yousef Salech recently joined Cardiff for a hefty price, and Calum Robinson is in goal scoring form, so Etete’s playing time at Cardiff City Stadium is probably going to be limited. Subscribe to our daily Cardiff City newsletter here.
The 23-year-old has missed the majority of the season so far through injury, only seeing minutes in the FA Cup clash with Sheffield United earlier this month.
If Etete were to leave the club, he would become the second striker to leave this month, following Wilfried Kanga’s loan recall to Hertha.
Salech announced himself to the Bluebirds faithful with an injury-time equaliser against Millwall in midweek.
And former Bluebirds defender Steven Caulker believes Cardiff are finding form at the right time.
Just maintaining momentum was crucial [against Millwall], Caulker said on BBC Radio Wales Breakfast.
Six games have been played without a loss, and seven if the FA Cup is taken into account. I simply believe that those last-minute equalizers do feel like victories when the side is struggling for points at the bottom.
“I feel Omer’s (Riza) doing a good job. He started off really well, had a rough patch, and Cardiff seem to be turning a corner.”

It’s Derby next up for Riza’s men, and another opportunity to move themselves out of relegation trouble. “You don’t want to be in that relegation zone in March, you don’t want to be there in April, and you certainly don’t want to be there May,” Caulker added.
“I think they’re full of confidence and they’ve got, let’s say, a winnable game on the weekend against Derby County, which would actually see them start to pull away from the relegation zone [if they win]. So fingers crossed the momentum stays with them.”
Meanwhile, Malachi Fagan-Walcott says it was hard to leave Cardiff earlier this season but says he’s loving life with York City.
The defender has already established himself as a mainstay with the Minstermen, scoring in the midweek win over Oldham Athletic.
“It was, it was an easy decision for me (to join York),” Fagan-Walcott told the YorkPress. Although leaving Cardiff was difficult, I believed that this was the best thing for my own growth.
“I’m young and I need to play games, I’ve been here before and had been here since the beginning of the season, and I’ve enjoyed every second of it.
“When the time came and my agent told me there were talks about it, I was 100 per cent from the beginning. He [Callum Howe] helps me, he said before I came, are you going to tell them that I keep carrying you through?
“He helps me a lot, it’s a privilege to be fair. He doesn’t miss a header, he wins everything and there are little things that I can pick up on because he has played many more games than me. Big praise to him.”
