"I know Erol Bulut very well. We worked together, and he wants to win every time. I also work like this all of my career," Siopis told the official Cardiff City website.

"I also know Dimi [Goutas] very well, too - he is my good friend. We have spoken, but not too much. He is a very good player, and I hope we can help the team to achieve our targets.

"I have seen the stadium, and I cannot wait to play with our supporters. They will see what I can do on the field."

Cardiff manager Erol Bulut added: "Normally, a player like Manolis, when you try to take him, you can't take him. It's really difficult to get a player like this.

"I brought him to Alanyaspor and he took a really big step to Trabzonspor. When we saw that he became available, we contacted him and we have a really good relationship.

"He's a fighter, who will work hard for the team. The fans will like him and in the last few years, he has increased his technical skills with the ball."
