Cardiff have accepted a £1.5 million offer from Town for striker Michael Chopra, according to reports in Wales. The Blues made an initial £1 million bid which was rejected before returning with an increased offer in recent days.
Chopra, Cardiff’s highest paid player last season, now looks set to hold talks with the Town management regarding personal terms.
As is their usual policy, the club are remaining tight-lipped regarding the situation, although it seems likely the Welsh reports are true and that a deal could be completed in the days to come.
The 27-year-old was one of ex-Town boss Keane’s main targets last summer, having played for him at Sunderland, but then the club weren’t prepared to pay the Bluebirds' asking price of around £4 million.
The Newcastle-born frontman scored 11 goals in 28 starts and 11 sub appearances during 2010/11 despite being in and out of the Cardiff side due to injuries.
