Cardiff boss Harris can't guarantee keeping West Ham target Etheridge

Cardiff City boss Neil Harris can't guarantee keeping hold of goalkeeper Neil Etheridge.

Etheridge has played over 100 games for Cardiff since joining the club in 2017.

But the Philippines international - who has been linked with West Ham as potential cover for the injured Lukasz Fabianski - was omitted for Sunday's 0-0 draw with Swansea as Alex Smithies took over in goal.

“I won't go into too much detail at the moment," Cardiff manager Harris said. “There's been a lot of talk around Neil, not just in this window but in the previous window as well.

“I had a really good couple of conversations with Neil in the week about his standards and what he wants to get back to. I think it's been a little bit up and down.

“We've got three goalkeepers who all deserve to play first-team football and three don't go into one, so something will have to give before February 1."
