Cardiff City have joined the race to sign Crystal Palace striker Connor Wickham on loan with the Welsh side willing to pay a higher fee than Sheffield Wednesday, according to The Sun's Alan Nixon.

The Bluebirds had reportedly identified Championship pair Lee Gregory and Kieffer Moore as potential targets to boost their attacking unit this month, but it now appears they have turned their attention to Premier League forward Wickham.

The 26-year-old has been made available for loan this month after making just eight appearances so far this season with Nottingham Forest, Bristol City, Sheffield Wednesday and now Cardiff all showing interest, according to Bristol Live.

It was previously thought that Wednesday had won the race to sign Wickham ahead of their Championship play-off push, but it is now understood that there has been a disagreement over the Hillsborough outfit's contribution to Wickham's wages.

This has now reportedly resulted in Cardiff emerging as strong candidates to land the former Sunderland frontman with the Bluebirds seeking competition for current strikers Danny Ward, Robert Glatzel and Callum Paterson.
