Premier League promotion hopefuls Cardiff City are set to announce the signing of former Watford striker Ogo Obi.

The 19-year-old left The Hornets in the summer, and has had a number of trials including with fellow Championship side Bolton.

However, TEAMtalk can exclusively reveal that the Bluebirds are set to hand Obi – who was a target for Manchester United when he a schoolboy – a permanent deal.

Neil Warnock’s men are currently two points off the automatic promotion places in the Championship despite a run of four successive league defeats.
