Cardiff City are set to sign winger Anthony Pilkington from Norwich City, according to BBC Sport.

The 26-year old is due to become Cardiff’s ninth signing of the summer so far.

Pilkington suffered hamstring problems last season and had difficulty establishing himself into Norwich’s starting line up, and was also left out of Sunday’s loss to Wolves.

He started his professional career at Stockport County, and was in the youth-set up at Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers.

The winger joined Norwich in 2011 from Huddersfield Town for a fee of £2 million.

In his time at the Canaries, he made 82 appearances and scored 15 goals in all competitions.

He also has six senior caps for the Republic of Ireland.
