Report: Cardiff City close in on Bruno Manga

Cardiff City are reportedly close to completing the signing of Lorient captain Bruno Manga.

The 26-year-old centre-back, who has been at the French outfit for four years, will join the Bluebirds in a deal worth more than £5m, according to BBC Sport.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer strengthened his defensive options earlier this month with the capture of Reading's Sean Morrison, but he is said to want more depth in this area.

The Welsh outfit are currently ninth in the Championship table following yesterday's 1-1 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage.
