Cardiff City are reportedly on the verge of securing their first transfer under new manager Brian Barry-Murphy, with FC Copenhagen goalkeeper Nathan Trott set for a loan move to the Welsh capital.
The potential arrival of the Bermudian would address a key area of concern for the Bluebirds, whose goalkeeping department has faced uncertainty throughout the summer transfer window.
Current number one, Ethan Horvath, is understood to be open to a move away from the club. The American international is believed to be seeking a transfer that would enhance his prospects of securing a place in the US Men's National Team squad for next year's World Cup in North America. Clubs across Europe and in Major League Soccer are reportedly monitoring Horvath's situation.
According to Danish outlet Tipsbladet, the agreement for Trott's loan spell includes a significant clause. It is claimed that Cardiff City will have a purchase option on the former West Ham United player, should they achieve promotion back to the Championship at the end of the upcoming season. This suggests a strategic move by Barry-Murphy to not only bolster his squad for the immediate future but also to plan for potential long-term stability between the posts.
Should the deal be finalized, Trott would provide crucial competition and depth as Cardiff City embark on their new campaign under Barry-Murphy's leadership.
