Cardiff City are contemplating offering a deal to Leyton Orient winger Dean Cox, according to FLW sources.

The 27-year-old has been at the O's since 2010 and he has gone on to become one of the club's most pivotal players, notching an impressive 209 appearances.

However, FLW understands that Cardiff City manager Russell Slade is eager to rejuvenate his team this summer, and has subsequently identified Cox as a player who can add a different element to the club's midfield options.

Slade has experience of working with Cox when they were both at Orient, and the Cardiff City boss is seemingly keen for a reunion this summer.

The O's endured only what can be described as a nightmare of a season, and were subsequently relegated to Sky Bet League Two after an abysmal League One campaign.

It is likely that a number of players at the London club will depart the Matchroom Stadium this summer, in pursuit of regular football in a higher division.

Cardiff City fans..... What do you make of this news? Is Cox the type of player you want to be signing? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below!
