Cardiff City are interested in signing Romaine Sawyers, WalesOnline understands.
The former West Brom midfielder, who was on loan at Stoke City last term, is a free agent after leaving the The Hawthorns this summer following three seasons with the Midlands club.
Cardiff have already brought in nine players this summer, including two new central midfielders in Andy Rinomhota and Ebou Adams, while Joe Ralls feels like a new signing after pencilling a new contract and Ryan Wintle has had only half a season after his Blackpool loan last year.

But it was always a position in which Cardiff needed some serious numbers after the departures of Leandro Bacuna, Marlon Pack, Will Vaulks and Manchester City loanee Tommy Doyle. Sawyers, 30, boasts a wealth of Championship and Premier League experience and would add to the plentiful options Steve Morison currently has at his disposal.
It is understood Stoke, for whom he impressed last season, have also registered an interest in the midfielder.
Sawyers operates primarily as a more attacking midfielder than what Cardiff currently have at their disposal and that will likely be an attractive attribute for Morison and his recruitment team, who are keen to add some go-forward after successfully bolstering the back half of their team so far this summer.
The 27-cap St Kitts and Nevis international scored three goals and provided four assists for the Potters last season. Having come through the Baggies' youth system, he went on to impress for Walsall in League One and Brentford in the Championship before sealing a return home to The Hawthorns in 2019.
