Cardiff could sign 'one or two' players before transfer deadline

Omer Riza says Cardiff City could add "one or two" more players to their squad prior to Monday's 23:00 GMT transfer deadline.

The Bluebirds brought in striker Yousef Salech and midfielder Sivert Mannsverk last month but remain eager to make further additions to their squad.

Leicester City's Will Alves is among the club's targets, although while he could yet make more signings in the final hours of the winter window, Riza says he is happy with the options he currently has at his disposal.

"I think we're not far off now, and I'm happy with the squad and the players that we've got," he told BBC Radio Wales.

"If we get one or two more, great. If we don't, we're ready for the second part of the season."

Prior to the Bluebirds' crushing 7-0 defeat at Leeds United, Cardiff announced striker Callum Robinson, left-back Callum O'Dowda and goalkeeper Jak Alnwick had all signed new contracts with the club.

Forward Kion Etete also penned fresh terms with the Bluebirds before joining League One side Bolton Wanderers on loan.

And Riza admits the raft of deals will help Cardiff build for the long-term.

"It's good, they're really important players, Callum, Robbo and Jak have all done really well this year and are important parts of the team," added the Cardiff boss.

"It's nice to have them sorted for the following seasons. I think it's important, things are starting to fall into place now. We can all move forwards together."
