Released Chelsea midfielder Jody Morris is close to joining Cardiff despite interest from two Premiership clubs.
Cardiff supremo Hamman has used his charm on Morris
The 24-year-old has held talks with Cardiff supremo Sam Hamman and is now likely to join the Division One new boys.
Cardiff won promotion in the Division Two play-off final, defeating QPR 1-0, and Hamman has big plans for the Welsh club.
The signing of highly-rated Morris would be a major coup for the Bluebirds, especially given the competition for the midfielder's signature from Premiership clubs.
"It looks like Cardiff at the moment," Morris' agent Jonathan Barnett told this website.
"We are in advanced talks with them and it will be this week for Jody one way or the other.
"Sam Hamman is a very persuasive gentleman and he has thrown everything in.
"Jody has had several good meetings with Sam, who has an incredible vision for Cardiff. It will be very exciting times for Cardiff if half the things Sam are talking about come true."
Morris has played his entire career for Chelsea but is not afraid of the prospect of relocating to further his career.
"The prospect of leaving London has never been a problem for Jody," added Barnett.
