Cardiff City have made a £10million move for Nice midfielder Adrien Tameze and hope to fend off competition from Atalanta and Watford to sign him next week.
Tameze, 24, is valued by Patrick Vieira but the offer is difficult for Nice to turn down. Neil Warnock also hopes to add a right back and a striker with Cardiff having made an offer for Anderlecht's Ivan Santini.
Cardiff City defender Paul McKay is joining Morecambe on loan. Neil Warnock wants the highly rated 22-year old to gain more game time and can cover a number of positions.
Striker Gary Madine is joining Sheffield United on loan.
