Lennie Lawrence's next transfer target is Barnsley's Chris Barker. It is thought that the two clubs have agreed a fee of £600,000, and personal talks will now begin.

After Tony Vidmar rejected Cardiff's offer of a contract, Bluebirds boss, Lennie Lawrence is now after 22 year old, Chris Barker of Barnsley.

A fee of £600,000 is said to have been agreed for the left back. Barker, is still young and is highly rated by the Barnsley fans.

Barker broke into the Barnsley first team when he was still a teenager, and has now played 120 games for the Yorkshire club.
