These are your Cardiff City headlines on Monday, July 10
Denham leaves on loan
Cardiff youngster Ollie Denham has joined Dundee United on loan for the season.
In a short statement on their website, Cardiff stated: "Central defender Ollie Denham has joined Scottish Championship side Dundee United on loan for the 2023/24 season.
"The 21-year-old has made eight competitive matches for the Bluebirds to date.
"We'd like to wish Ollie all the very best while away from Cardiff City Stadium."

United manager Jim Goodwin said: "Ollie is a young talent who is very highly regarded at Cardiff and played a number of games in the English Championship. He's a modern-day centre-back with good mobility and one who enjoys defending.
"He has good leadership qualities, and we are delighted to have him on board to add more competition in the defensive area of the squad."
"Furthermore, at 20 years of age, he was one of only two defenders who just missed out on the final selection for the Wales World Cup squad, which gives an indication of how highly thought of he is within the Welsh FA."
The Bluebirds have added Greek central defender Dimitrios Goutas to the ranks already this summer, with manager Erol Bulut keen to bring in up to 10 signings before the window closes.
Cardiff have Goutas, Perry Ng, Jack Simpson and Mark McGuinness as centre-back options next term, while they have also been linked with a move for Burnley's Bobby Thomas.
Bulut on Meite, new signings
Cardiff players who started the season with the club were given the weekend off but Erol Bulut revealed his new signings were put through their paces on Saturday and Sunday.
Cardiff have signed Yakou Meite, Ike Ugbo and Dimitrios Goutas so far this summer, with the former being revealed on Friday.
“Yakou has been playing in the Championship for the past five or six years,” Bult said after the 1-1 draw with Cambridge United. “He was a good goal scorer at Reading, he knows how to score, and this is what we need.
“He’s experienced, strong, skilful; he will play many games for us and score.”
He added that players would be granted the weekend off but the new arrivals would be hanging around the Vale.
"The guys who have been with us from the start they will have two days off," he said. "The other guys who are new, they will continue to work."
We could get our first glimpse of the trio against Bristol Rovers on Tuesday, in a game which will be played behind closed doors.
Ramsey state of play
Cardiff City have signed three players already this summer but the deal that remains outstanding is still the one making headlines.
Indeed the use of the word "outstanding" there is rather apt, as an Aaron Ramsey homecoming to his boyhood club would be nothing short of incredible.
Talks have been held between the parties, Ramsey has dropped a few hints along the way and the Bluebirds are obviously keen to get a deal done.
