Cardiff City are considering former Tottenham star Lewis Holtby this summer.
Free agent Holtby has just been released by Bundesliga 2 side Hamburg.
The 28-year-old has been back in Germany since 2015, after two years with Tottenham and a loan stint with Fulham.
Holtby was the talk of European football a few years ago, with England courting him before he pledged his allegiance to Germany, where he was born.
His return to his homeland hasn't gone to plan, with Hamburg relegated from the German top flight last season.
He will leave the club this summer and Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock is said to be looking at him.
As a free agent Holtby would certainly fit the bill for Cardiff , who plan to bring in up to six players this summer in an attempt to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
Holtby is a midfielder with an attacking sense, and with Victor Camarasa and Harry Arter both returning to their parent clubs after spending stints in South Wales, a move for the former Spurs man would add up.
The Bluebirds have already been linked with Rotherham and Wales man Will Vaulks this summer, as well as Portsmouth's Jamal Lowe .
