Crystal Palace striker Frazier Campbell may well be looking for a move away from Selhurst Park in the summer. Could Cardiff City be an option?
Crystal Palace’s Fraizer Campbell
At one point in his career, Crystal Palace striker Frazier Campbell was tipped to be a future England international star. Scoring goals for fun at Hull City back in 2007-08, Frazier Campbell was once one of England’s hottest properties, causing defender’s nightmares everywhere he went.
However, a run of seasons spent wasted on the bench has caused Campbell’s stock to drop, unable to score the kind of goals he once bagged for fun whilst playing second or even third fiddle to other centre forwards.
With the striker’s contract at Selhurst Park set to expire in the summer, Frazier Campbell could well be on the lookout for a new club, hoping to get back to form and, more importantly, get some game time. At the age of 29, Frazier Campbell perhaps needs that confidence boost from a new team and a new home at this stage in his career.
One club that could well offer him this is Neil Warnock’s Cardiff City. The Bluebirds, who have been revitalised by Warnock since he took over, may well be looking to push into the top half of the Championship and beyond next season, but desperately need to get themselves a new goalscorer if they hope to do so.

Frazier Campbell, who spent a year with the Bluebirds between 2013-14, scored 13 goals for Cardiff City whilst the club were in the Premier League; an impressive feat, considering how poor Cardiff were at that stage.
Knowing the club and their fans, Cardiff City might well be an appealing option for Campbell, should he be happy to make the drop down to the Championship this summer.

But would this be a good option for Cardiff? With Campbell having spent some considerable time without regular football, perhaps the Bluebirds might not want to take such a risk?
