Cardiff City battling it out with Middlesbrough, Watford, Burnley and Leicester for £11m winger - reports

Cardiff City are battling it out with a host of English clubs for Genk winger Mbwana Samatta, according to reports.

The Tanzania international, who is currently playing in the African Cup of Nations, scored 32 goals last season and would likely cost in the region of £11million.

Fotospor claim that Turkish club Fenerbahce are also interested in the player but believe they are likely to be priced out of a move for Samatta because of his transfer fee.

They report that Fenerbahce would not be able to stump up that fee because of their financial situation.

However, a host of English clubs are also reported to be interested alongside the Bluebirds. Championship rivals Middlesbrough and Premier League clubs Watford, Leicester and Burnley are all rumoured to be chasing the winger.

Lazio and Schalke are also said to be keen on the 26-year-old and could make an offer.

Samatta is under contract with the Belgium club until June 2021.
