Leandro Bacuna is reportedly set for a return to the Premier League with Neil Warnock’s Cardiff City.
Cardiff City are set to sign Reading midfielder Leandro Bacuna in a deal worth £3 million, according to Sky Sports (live blog, 11.05am).
A versatile midfielder who can also play at right-back, Bacuna has been at Reading since August 2017 but it seems that he is on his way out of the Madejski with Jose Gomes’s side embroiled in a Championship relegation battle.
The 27-year-old impressed in fits and bursts during his time in the top flight with Aston Villa and it seems that he is set to be offered a return to the Premier League on deadline day.
Cardiff are understood to be closing in on a deal that will see Bacuna move to South Wales for a fee of £3 million.
It is no secret that Neil Warnock is desperate to sign a right-back this month and the Curacao international could fit the bill due to his impressive adaptability.
The former Groningen favourite has been a rare bright spark for Reading this season, scoring three goals and setting up three more.
And he will join his younger brother Juninho, who plays for Huddersfield Town, in the top flight.
