Cardiff City manager Erol Bulut reckons he’s signed an all-rounder who can deliver the vital ingredient for the club next season – goals.

Bulut revealed his excitement after the Bluebirds secured the signing of Ivory Coast striker Wilfried Kanga on a season-long loan.

Last season, Kanga was on loan in Belgium’s Pro League with Standard Liege, where he netted 12 goals in 32 appearances.

Boss Bulut said: “He has got a bit of everything as a forward. He works hard and can finish. He has a lot of quality.

“We needed more in that position this season. We were excited by what he showed last term in Belgium and believe as coaches we can help him get even better.

“He knows what he must deliver as part of our team. We hope he can score and assist a lot of goals.”

Kanga is the club’s third signing of the summer window, following the arrivals of former Queens Park Rangers forward Chris Willock and ex-Arsenal and Aston Villa defender Calum Chambers.

“I feel very happy to be here. I know all about Cardiff City already. We want to get this club back up the league,” said Kanga.

“I’ve enjoyed being in the stadium already. You can feel something special around it. I can’t wait now to play in front of our fans.”

Cardiff are optimistic about adding more players to their squad in the coming days.
