Cardiff City chief Mehmet Dalman admits they're struggling to find a striker signing.

The Bluebirds chairman insists "a good budget" is available for Neil Warnock to spend on three or four players in the upcoming January window - including a striker.

"We're very focussed on the January window," he told WalesOnline.

"In fact we're working extremely hard, we're looking to bring in three or four players. We're halfway through our target list and we'll continue to work hard at it.

"We have a very good approach to the transfer targets we have. We all have a say in what we should be doing. At the end of the day, the manager really dictates who his targets are.

"We'll never put a manager in a situation where he plays a player who he didn't pick. That just doesn't make sense to me.

"The key question is money, what we can afford and what we can't. We have different philosophies when it comes to that.

"For example my philosophy is 'let's spend proper money on a proper player and if we have to loan the others, that's a better way to do it'.

"Rather than go for players at a price which isn't going to get the quality we want."
