Cardiff City weighing up bid for Middlesbrough defender Aden Flint - reports

Cardiff City are reportedly considering a move for Middlesbrough centre-back Aden Flint.

According to The Mirror , Neil Warnock is keen on making a move for the 30-year-old, who only arrived at the Riverside last year from Bristol City in a £7million move.

At 6ft 6in, he would certainly bring some added height to Cardiff's defence, with boss Neil Warnock keen to revamp his squad ahead of the new season.

Flint made 39 appearances for Boro last season, and could be on his way out following the departure of boss Tony Pulis.

A move for Flint would certainly given Warnock plenty of defensive options, particularly in light of the the arrival of Curtis Nelson.

The former Oxford skipper was implemented as a defensive midfielder in the win over San Antonio at the weekend, but is nevertheless likely to have been brought in to provide extra competition at the back, with Sean Morrison, Sol Bamba and Bruno Manga all set to jostle for places.

Flint is likely to be well known to many Cardiff fans after netting a Severnside derby winner back in November 2017, in a game where he played alongside Bobby Reid.

If reports in the national press are to be believed, they could now be team-mates once again.
