‘We'd have scored a lot of goals for Cardiff City’ - Oumar Niasse's tribute to Emiliano Sala

Cardiff City striker Oumar Niasse has paid a touching tribute to fellow January signing Emiliano Sala, who has now been confirmed dead after a tragic flight accident.

With Cardiff doing poorly in the attacking third, and in the Premier League log, Neil Warnock landed his attacking targets; Niasse arriving from Everton on loan till the end of the season while his Argentine counterpart was a high-profile signing.

The Bluebirds parted with a club-record £15 million to secure the services of the 28-year-old from French Ligue 1 side Nantes.
