Chris Gunter: 'Adam Le Fondre will succeed at Cardiff City'

Reading defender Chris Gunter has stated that former teammate Adam Le Fondre will become a fans' favourite at Cardiff City.

The 27-year-old joined the Bluebirds for an undisclosed fee from their Championship rivals on Friday.

Gunter has claimed that Le Fondre will make an immediate impact with his new club.

"You create one or two chances and you're guaranteed he'll take one," Gunter told BBC Sport.

"I'm sure it won't be long before he's a proper fans' favourite there because he scores goals.

"He's a really good player. It's really sad to see him leave us. He's certainly Cardiff's gain. I'm sure he'll settle in straight away, but hopefully not at the expense of Reading."

Le Fondre scored 15 goals in 40 appearances for the Royals last season.
