The Bluebirds may have to find a new striker with The Cherries keen on the Welshman<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

CARDIFF City could be in search of a new goalscorer if Kieffer Moore departs for Bournemouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cardiff have been reliant on Moore, who scored 20 goals last season, but this season is proving tough after injuries and positive Covid results have resulted in the Welshman being sidelined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore, who has been strongly linked with a move to the south coast club, has only started 15 of Cardiff\u2019s 26 Championship games this season, yet he\u2019s their top scorer with five goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bluebirds, who haven’t won in six, have the fifth-worst scoring record in the league and with Moore\u2019s potential departure things could look bleak for Steve Morison\u2019s men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James Collins, Mark Harris and Max Watters are the current Cardiff strikers available, but fans aren\u2019t confident they will be able to fill the Welshman\u2019s boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former season ticket holder, Christian Tobias, 22, said: \u201cThere are no goalscorers without Kieffer. Harris has his days and Collins and Watters have both looked good, but the goals just aren\u2019t there to prove it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lifelong Cardiff fan Glyn Christie, 72, from Ebbw Vale believes there will be no hope for Cardiff if Moore goes: \u201cHe\u2019s the best player we\u2019ve got, everything goes through him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I really can\u2019t see how we get someone in who can replace him because he can do everything. He\u2019s the aerial threat we need but he can also play with his feet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Morison is reported to be interested in signing Middlesbrough striker Uche Ikpeazu before the deadline on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

w\/@tomEcoleman<\/a>. Cardiff have today contacted Boro over Uche Ikpeazu. Cardiff want a loan, Boro preference is to sell (for ~\u00a3750k), which is a stumbling block.

Steve Morison is a fan, wants an experienced forward and added competition for Kieffer Moore https:\/\/t.co\/PRpQBZuQoo<\/a><\/p>— Glen Williams (@GlenWilliams12) January 26, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
