Cardiff City set to sign Ajax midfielder Mannsverk on loan

Cardiff City is poised to sign Ajax midfielder Sivert Mannsverk on loan until the end of the season, following the completion of his medical and personal terms. The 22-year-old has struggled with injuries, making only two appearances for Ajax this season, but his addition comes at a crucial time for Cardiff, who are currently 18th in the Championship and missing key midfielders Aaron Ramsey and David Turnbull. This deal marks Cardiff's second signing of the January transfer window, having previously acquired striker Yousef Salech from Sirius. Manager Omer Riza expressed optimism about the transfer situation, noting ongoing discussions with players and the board. Additionally, while Cardiff may look to make more signings, it was indicated that player sales could facilitate further acquisitions. The team remains unbeaten in their last eight games across all competitions, yet they still sit precariously above the relegation zone.
