Cardiff close to landing Bolton striker Gary Madine in £8million deadline day switch
Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock has finally got his man after several bids for the forward were rejected by the Trotters who are close to taking Lee Chung-yong back to the Macron
CARDIFF are closing in on Bolton striker Gary Madine in £8million deal.
The Bluebirds have been chasing Madine all month with several bids rejected by the Trotters.
The Welsh side came back in with an improved offer of £6million upfront with incentives taking it to £8m.
The 27-year-old signed a new two-year deal last summer and the Championship strugglers were looking to tie him down on improved terms.
Madine has bagged 10 times in 29 appearances this season, already matching his figure for the whole of his last campaign.
Cardiff boss Neil Warnock has been working tirelessly all month to add more firepower to his attack before tonight’s 11pm deadline.
Meanwhile, the Trotters are close to signing Lee Chung-yong on loan.
The South-Korean has fallen down the pecking order at Crystal Palace and is looking for regular football until the end of the campaign.

If the deal goes through Lee will be available to feature against promotion chasing Bristol City on Friday.
