Cardiff look set to make Rotherham's Will Vaulks their first signing of the summer, with the BBC reporting that a fee has been agreed.

The midfielder has spent two years at Rotherham, and in that time he has experienced promotion, relegation, and the captain's armband.

He will be sorely missed by Paul Warne but his loss is Cardiff's gain, and the club has worked hard to secure his signing, fighting off Premier League interest from Norwich and Sheffield United.

Our FLW Six Point Opinion takes a look at the new Cardiff player and what he can bring to his new team.

What can Cardiff fans expect?

"Vaulks is a tough tackling midfielder and he is the perfect like-for-like replacement for Aron Gunnarsson, who has left the club on a free.

"The 25-year-old is great at breaking up play and holding the midfield together, although The Millers were frequently overrun last season.

"He is also a threat going forward, and contributed seven goals and seven assists for Rotherham - proving his ability as a box-to-box midfielder. His attitude and playing style is well suited to Warnock's style of play and he is a player who will give it all out on the pitch - so Cardiff fans should adore him."

Is he good enough for a team aiming for promotion?

"Vaulks amongst the best at what he does in the division. So if Cardiff want a player of his style then they are right to go for him.

"He will be integral to protecting the back four and will allow creative players like Joe Ralls to venture around the pitch without being restricted by defensive duties.

"At 25 he is only likely to improve further, particularly if he is part of a winning team and playing with higher quality players and coaches, which is what he'll get at Cardiff. So instead of being the weak link in the team he will play a valuable role."

Is Vaulks already the complete Championship midfielder?

"No, he still has aspects of his game which require improvement, most notably his passing.

"Last season he managed a pitiful pass success rate of 64.3% according to Whoscored, which is a very poor return for a midfield player.

"He will have to improve a lot in that regard if he is to propel Cardiff to the Premier League, but if he does then he will become on the most highly-sought after players in the division."

What's the next step for The Bluebirds - what other areas need improvement?

"Midfield was a key area which needed reinforcements, and now that has been dealt with Cardiff can focus on bringing in another striker.

"Kenneth Zohore and Bobby Reid are great options for the Championship, but they both struggled at times last season and are likely low on confidence, and Cardiff could benefit hugely from bringing in a natural goalscorer.

"A player in the mould of Dwight Gayle would be perfect if Reid is unable to fulfil that role. Whilst Gayle may be too expensive, a similar poacher would be of great benefit to the squad, as goals are vital in a promotion push.

Could he go on to be a Premier League standard player?

"If he improves on his areas of weakness - passing - then he would be a great all-round midfielder in both attack and defence.

"However, midfielders who succeed in the Premier League tend to specialise in one area of their game. Being useful in both halves is a bonus for Vaulks but if he focused on being a midfielder who makes interceptions and breaks up play then he could be formidable in the top-tier.

"One thing is for certain, his career is on an upward trajectory and he has made huge improvements since his days at Falkirk. If he continues his development at the same rate he will be a Premier League player one day. After all, he has already been deemed good enough for the Wales national squad."

Is the reported £1.5m fee a good price for Cardiff?

"It could prove to be a real bargain, considering the player is only likely to improve in the future.

"If he plays a big role in future success for Cardiff - such as promotion - then his value will increase dramatically and Cardiff would be in a very good position when it comes to selling.

"This transfer is relatively low-risk too. Vaulks has shown his quality, fitness and attitude and it is unlikely that any of those aspects about him would change, particularly under Neil Warnock who is known to get the best out of his players.
