Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock has claimed that Hull City's Jarrod Bowen and Kamil Grosicki are the best two wingers currently plying their trade in the Championship.

Warnock's Bluebirds are set to go up against the duo when they travel to the KCOM Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and it appears as though the Cardiff boss is under no illusions as to the challenge his side will face.

The Welsh-based club were reportedly interested in signing Grosicki during the January transfer window, and Warnock believes that his side are not the only ones who would jump at the chance to recruit the pair.

Speaking about the Hull duo in his press-conference ahead of Saturday afternoon's clash, Warnock was quoted by The Hull Daily Mail, via Wales Online, as saying: “They’re (Bowen and Grosicki) probably the best two widemen in the league.

"Most would want those two if they could afford them. And they’ve got midfield players who can score.”

So far this season, Bowen has four goals and provided one assist in Hull's eight league games, while Grosicki has three goals and an assist to his name from the opening stages of the campaign.

Cardiff and Hull go into Saturday's clash 13th and 14th in the Championship standings respectively, although Warnock's side are three points better off than their hosts at this point in the season.

The Verdict

This is an interesting one.

Bowen and Grosicki are undoubtedly two very good players, especially at this level, and I don't dispute that there would be a number of clubs who would happily take the pair in their squads if they could afford them.

I do however wonder whether the pair actually are the best two wide players in the division as Warnock says, given the quality of other players in that position at this level.

Indeed, you feel the likes of Pablo Hernandez, Anthony Knockaert and Joe Lolley would be just some of the few players in that role in the Championship who may have something to say about Warnock's claims here.
