Neil Warnock is getting to work at Cardiff City.
Junior Hoilett celebrates after scoring the first goal for QPR
Cardiff City are on the verge of sealing a double deal for free agent duo Junior Hoilett and Sol Bamba, report The BBC.
Hoilett has been a free agent since the summer, when his contract at QPR expired.

Bamba was surprisingly released by Leeds United last month despite being club captain.
He had fallen down the pecking order at Elland Road, and the club felt confident enough in their new additions of Kyle Bartley and Pontus Jansson that they could afford to let him go.
Cardiff this week appointed Neil Warnock as manager after firing Paul Trollope, following a disappointing start to the season.

Warnock re-energised Rotherham in similar circumstances last season, and used the free agent market to bolster his squad at the time.
The BBC report both Bamba and Hoilett could potentially feature for Cardiff in their upcoming game against Bristol City once the international break resumes.
The deals could be formally announced as soon as today (Friday).
