Keinan to sign??

Cardiff City are rumoured to be close to signing Blackpool centre-half Dekel Keinan. Any deal is expected to be a permanent move for the Israeli international, he joined the Premiership club in the summer from Israeli club Maccabi Haifa in a £500,000 deal.

Until his move to Blackpool all his footballing career had been within Israeli football playing for Maccabi Haifa. He had two loan spells with Bnei Sakhnin and Maccabi Netanya.

During his stay so far with Blackpool he has made little impact he has made only three league starts plus a hand full off the bench, they were three other start in cup competitions the normal for a fringe player. The last competitive game was in the FA Cup against Southampton but the last League game was back in early November. He his reported to be one of the highest earners at Blackpool and manager Ian Holloway would be happy to see him go if he can recoup some of the £500,00 he paid out in the summer.

He was rumoured to be at the Vale training ground this morning and as completed a medical so we have to sit back and wait on the official word.
