Chidera Ejuke, a summer transfer target for Cardiff City, is reportedly likely to join Belgian champions Royal Antwerp. Some believed that the Bluebirds' pursuit of the 25-year-old Super Eagles starlet would have been almost as thrilling as the arrest of Aaron Ramsey. Cardiff's audacious attempt to complete the trade, meanwhile, was derailed by reports that Ejuke was also in contact with a Champions League team.
That team is Antwerp, who last year won both the league and cup in Belgium. According to reports, Ejuke had a physical over the weekend in preparation for joining on a season-long loan. The winger, whose contract with CSKA Moscow has been suspended, played for Hertha Berlin in Germany last season before once again becoming a wanted man this summer. Representatives of Ejuke spoke with the Bluebirds, and he was inspired by the club's vision in Wales' capital city. He thought about moving to the Championship in an effort to maybe draw Premier League attention.
