Cardiff City are working on a deal to sign Leicester City attacking midfielder Will Alves on loan for the rest of the season.
The 19-year-old is highly rated at Leicester having made his debut aged 16 in 2022, but his progress was hampered by a serious knee injury later that year.
Alves made a substitute appearance during last month's 2-0 Premier League defeat against Manchester City and the Foxes are keen for him to leave on loan to gain first-team experience.
Cardiff are looking to add to their attacking options and could use Alves as a wide player or a number 10.
