Cardiff City sign Leandro Bacuna from Reading

Cardiff City have completed the signing of Leandro Bacuna from Reading on a four-and-a-half-year deal.

The 27-year-old has put pen to paper on a contract which will keep him with the Bluebirds until 2023, ending an 18-month spell at the Madejski Stadium.

Bacuna can play at full-back or in midfield and joins a Cardiff side currently sitting 18th in the Premier League table, four points from safety.

"A few weeks ago, I was made aware of some interest and it has all gone from there. I'm very happy and looking forward to getting started," Bacuna told the club's official website.

"Every game I play I give 100%, and I'll be fighting hard to help our team. I've played against the manager and you can see he always wants to win. He is so passionate. It's going to be great to work underneath him and hopefully he will push me on as a player."

Bacuna could make his debut for Cardiff against Bournemouth on Saturday evening.
