Cardiff City are on medical alert for Aston Villa defender Calum Chambers

Cardiff City are in talks to sign Calum Chambers from Aston Villa and have booked a medical for the defender, according to Wales Online.

Cardiff City are looking to make a breakthrough in the transfer market after a slow window so far.

The Bluebirds have managed to secure the future of manager Erol Bulut amid questions over his future. The Turkish boss will now want the support of the club’s hierarchy as he looks to take the club back to the bottom of the Championship table.

Now, it appears the South Welsh outfit are closing in on their top defensive target.

Wales Online are reporting that Cardiff City have made Aston Villa winger Calum Chambers their top target in their search for a new defender. Talks are ongoing over a potential deal and the Championship side have booked a medical for the 29-year-old.

Chambers has a year left on his contract at Villa, but in the middle of his place, far removed from Unai Emery’s pecking order, it looks like an exit awaits him.

THE TEST STARTS!

A strong plus

Whether Cardiff City can get Chambers’ deal over the line remains to be seen, but the defender could be a fantastic signing for a Championship-level club.

Chambers has spent his entire Premier League career since joining the ranks from Southampton. He has also been tested in the Champions League and Europa League, so there can be no questions about his pedigree.

That could quickly make him a key figure for Bulut, both in skill and mindset.

His versatility will be of great use to the Bluebirds as well. Center back has become his primary role after starting as a right back, but he can still play in that position, also being deployed as a defensive midfielder at times.

Much needed reinforcement

Cardiff City need signings in a number of positions this summer, but centre-back is the glaring weakness.

Only Mark McGuinness, Dimitrios Goutas and Ryotaro Tsunoda are available options in the center of defence. As such, even if Chambers does join, another centre-back will be needed later in the window.

It may have taken a while for a breakthrough to come close, but it looks like the Bluebirds are closing in on two eye-catching additions. Not only is Chambers said to be closing in on a move to the Welsh capital, but Chris Willock has agreed to sign after his QPR contract expires.

Kicking off the summer business with moves for the former Arsenal duo would be a great way to start, even if it has taken longer than hoped. Fingers will be crossed that the arrival of Chambers and Willock can mark the start of a fruitful window for Cardiff City.
