Cardiff City are poised to sign Rotherham United striker Danny Ward, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
Cardiff have made Ward one of their top targets this summer and it seems Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock is set to land his man.
Warnock is a big fan of Ward having worked with him during his reign in charge of Rotherham during the 2015/16 season.

Rotherham have been resigned to losing Ward following their relgation from the Championship last season and they activated a clause in his contract to ensure they could command a decent fee for him.
Ward was Rotherham’s shining light last season, scoring 12 goals in 43 appearances for the Millers and the club rejected offers from several sides in January.
A number of Championship clubs have shown an interest in Ward, but Cardiff have moved quickly to agree a deal for the former Huddersfield Town man.
Warnock is keen to bolster his attacking options at the Cardiff City Stadium as he looks to build a squad capable of challenging for promotion and he sees Ward as a vital addition to his plans.
