Solomon Taiwo has become Cardiff City's 7th summer signing, 6 of them permanentm after completing a medical for his reported £250,000 switch from League Two outfit Dagenham and Redbridge.
The player - a midfield lynchpin for the Daggers - has been tracked by City since last season but his potential was highlighted by an outstanding display for the Londoners against Cardiff in Carling Cup Round 1 action a fortnight ago and his impressed in their flying start to the League campaign which saw them in 2nd spot.
City boss Dave Jones has describes him as "a good prospect, a strong player, a good athlete and comfortable on the ball who, with no disrespect to Dagenham, playing with better players around him he should up his tempo and the qualities that he has got."
Jones admits it is a punt but believes the players has the qualities to make an impact at this level and moved quickly to dismiss some thoughts amongst sections of Bluebird followers that he may be a replacement for Joe Ledley by adding, "We haven't bough in a midfield player because of what might or might not happen with Joe. We have brought in a midfield player because we are trying to bolster our squad. Hopefully that reassures the fans".
