Cardiff set to sign defender Krystian Bielik from West Brom

Cardiff City is nearing a permanent deal to acquire defender Krystian Bielik from West Bromwich Albion. The 28-year-old made 17 appearances for West Brom in the Championship last season as they narrowly avoided relegation. This transfer would mark Cardiff's fourth senior addition this summer, following goalkeeper Nathan Trott, midfielder Jack Moylan, and left-back Calum Scanlon on loan from Liverpool. Currently, Cardiff is in need of defensive reinforcements due to injuries to multiple players, including Will Fish and Calum Chambers. Bielik could feature in Cardiff's upcoming match against Sheffield United on Saturday.
