Cardiff City show interest in Zenit St Petersburg forward Artem Dzyuba?

Zenit St Petersburg forward Artem Dzyuba has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Cardiff City.

Dzyuba has been one of Russia's stars during the World Cup, scoring three goals during the host nation's run through to the quarter-finals.

The 29-year-old's height and strength has caused problems for the opposition defence - including Spain's - and according to Sport Express, Cardiff boss Neil Warnock is a fan of the player.

Cardiff have already made four new signings since earning promotion to the Premier League, and striker Bobby Reid has been signed from Bristol City.

Dzyuba still has two years remaining on his contract, and Zenit will be aware that they could potentially raise the 29-year-old's asking price as a result of his performances for his country.
