Charlton Athletic boss Lee Bowyer has confirmed that Jonny Williams is on the brink of a move to Cardiff City.
Williams is expected to have a medical later today ahead of a move believed to be worth around £200,000.
Bowyer admits it will be a blow to lose the Welshman, who's made 18 appearances for the Addicks this season, and managed to breath new life into his stuttering career at the League One outfit.
Confirming the news, Bowyer told London News Online: “A couple of days ago it [a deal] started.
“One of the things I’ll really miss is that smile every morning, he is a lovely lad. He has been great around the place and everyone is going to miss him.
“He’s only got a little bit left on his contract and this is the right thing for the club. It is a good deal for the club – and Jonny wanted to go there.
“Jonny is another one who came in dead and buried – he was playing U23s at Palace – but came here, played games and got back into the Wales side. He is another one who moves on and has improved as a player under us. The list is bloody endless – of people doing well and moving on.
“Everyone loved him at the club. I don’t think a person in the world could meet Jonny and not say he is a lovely fella.”
Williams is set to be the first City signing in the Mick McCarthy era, with the pair having preivously worked together twice at Ipswich Town.
