Cardiff City are set to snap up Wigan Athletic midfielder Ben Watson.

The Daily Mail says flame-haired Watson, signed by the Latics from Crystal Palace for £2m in the January window, is out of favour at Wigan and has failed to figure under new boss Roberto Martinez.

The 24-year-old, who racked up almost 200 league games with the Eagles, is also trailed by Middlesbrough and QPR.
