It is believed that Cardiff boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to bolster his attacking options with a centre-forward who has Premier League experience.
To make the deal possible, Solskjaer would also be willing to sanction the departure of Nigerian attacker Peter Odemwingie in the opposite direction, according to The Mirror.
Jones was recently fined by Stoke for refusing to feature against Liverpool.
