Three top Euro clubs eye Cardiff City transfer with move to impact January plans

Norwegian defender Daland, on loan at Viking FK, is being monitored by Schalke 04, Eintracht Frankfurt and Lille ahead of January.

Jesper Daland, a 26-year-old centre-back currently on loan at Norwegian side Viking FK from Cardiff City, has attracted interest from three European clubs. Schalke 04, Eintracht Frankfurt and French side Lille have all reportedly sent scouts to watch the defender in action, according to Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur. Daland will have another chance to impress potential suitors when Viking face Aston Villa in the Champions League tonight. No concrete offers have been made yet, but Cardiff could receive a significant financial boost if any of the interested clubs make a formal move in the January transfer window.
