Cardiff City manager Paul Trollope hopes to make more signings before transfer window shuts

Cardiff City manager Paul Trollope has expressed his desire to make more signings before the transfer window closes at the end of August.

The Bluebirds have signed striker Frederic Gounongbe and defender Jazz Richards so far this summer, as well as making the loans of Lex Immers and Kenneth Zohore permanent transfers.

Trollope told BBC Sport: "There's time and I'm sure there'll be a lot of business between now and when the window shuts. We're still looking and we're still hopeful.

"I'm not going to go into details in terms of what we're looking for, but we're looking at certain areas we think we need to strengthen and add, both in terms of the first team and competition for places and strength in depth which we obviously need."

Cardiff concluded their pre-season preparations with a 1-0 defeat away against Premier League side Bournemouth on Saturday.
