Solomon wisely set to join City

It's being reported tonight that Dagenham and Redbridge's powerful midfielder Solomon Taiwo is in South Wales tonight finialising a potential £250,000 move to Cardiff City.

Solomon who? You may ask.

He's a 24 year old Nigerian born player who has been with 9 South East mainly non-league sides and 1 in America with 5 years before joining League Two outfit Dagenham and Redbridge in 2007. His start there was tainted with 2 red cards but he has since become a pivotal and influential player for the Daggers.

Two weeks ago tonight, Taiwo shone at Cardiff City Stadium in Daggers Carling Cup defeat and that obviously convinced Dave Jones to make a move although he has been tracking the player for some time.

Cardiff have needed extra central midfield cover and Taiwo fits the bill although, clearly, he is a gamble.
