| Cardiff City target Nigel Reo-Coker has
completed a move from relegation-threatened Wimbledon to promotion hopefuls
West Ham United on a free transfer.
The England under-21 international has attracted interest from a number of clubs so far this season, including the Bluebirds, and Cardiff boss Lennie Lawrence recently revealed that City were interested in the midfielder. With West Ham in danger of slipping away from the promotion pack, the signing will be a relief to supporters and may give them new hope of an automatic promotion push. 19-year-old Reo-Coker was one of Wimbledon's bright young prospects, but with him leaving, Lee Martin recently departing for Manchester United, and Joel McAnuff linked with a move away from the National Hockey Stadium, Dons boss Stuart Murdoch will have to work miracles to keep his side in the First Division. |
