Cardiff City 'agree fee for Derby County's Craig Bryson'

Cardiff City have allegedly moved a step closer to securing Craig Bryson's services on a permanent basis after agreeing on a fee for the midfielder.

The Welsh outfit have had a bid of £1.75m accepted for the Scottish midfielder, reports The Express.

Bryson spent the second half of last season on loan at Cardiff and helped the Bluebirds secure automatic promotion to the Premier League.

Several Championship clubs are said to have expressed interest in the 31-year-old, but Cardiff appear to have won the race for his signature.

The Premier League newcomers have already snapped up Josh Murphy, Greg Cunningham, Bobby Reid and Alex Smithies during the summer transfer window.
