Uche Ikpeazu: Cardiff City close on loan deal for Middlesbrough striker

Cardiff City are close to signing Middlesbrough striker Uche Ikpeazu on loan for the rest of the season.

Cardiff had shelved interest in Ikpeazu last week because Middlesbrough wanted a fee for the former Wycombe Wanders player.

However, the move is back on after Boro agreed to a loan move.

Ukpeazu, 26, has scored three goals in 21 appearances for the Teesside club this season having been handed a three-year deal by Neil Warnock last summer.

But Chris Wilder, who took over from Warnock in November, has "made it perfectly clear" to Ikpeazu that he is not in his plans.
