Shock move for Cardiff City star ?

By Carl Curtis

Burnley are keeping tabs on Cardiff City’s Icelandic international midfielder Aron Gunnarsson and may be ready to try and entice the versatile player to Turf Moor.

Sean Dyche is an admirer of Gunnarsson and according to reports he was interested earlier this year in taking the Iceland captain up North back in January.

Gunnarson, who signed for City for free from Coventry City in 2011, put pen to paper on a 2 year contract extension that extends his stay until 2018 but his lack of game time in the Welsh capital has alerted Burnley, and manager Dyche has had scouts watch Gunnarsson on International duty.

Russell Slade will want to keep Gunnarsson, who can play at various positions including right back, as his direct and immediate cover for Kagisho Dikgacoi who is enjoying a run of games in the City side.

Would you want to see Cardiff City let Gunnarsson go or would you want to keep hold of him ?
