Inter Milan prospect Tidjane Balde jets to Cardiff

Cardiff City are closing a deal for Inter Milan striker Tidjane Balde.

The 18 year-old forward flew to Wales yesterday from Milan to meet with Cardiff officials and to undergo a medical, reports TMW.

Balde will join Cardiff on-loan to the end of the season, with the Bluebirds coughing up a fee of €200,000 for his services.

Cardiff and Inter enjoy a good relationship after the sale of Gary Medel to the Italians in August.

Balde was understood to have signed for Cardiff last week, though there were delays with the paperwork.
