Cardiff City's hopes of landing Wales striker Kieffer Moore have been hit by a fresh blow - from their former manager Neil Warnock.
The Middlesbrough boss is said to have slapped in an 11th hour bid to try to tempt Moore to the north-east.
Moore, who is also Neil Harris' number one transfer target, is said to be mulling over his options this weekend to decide which of his many suitors to join.
Stoke, Derby, Preston, QPR and Millwall have also been chasing Moore, who appeared to be veering towards a move to Cardiff.
However, we are told the Bluebirds and Moore still have ground to make up on personal terms. Bluebirds owner Vincent Tan is weighing up his own plans for Cardiff as he considers whether to continue shelling out money, having estimated to have already used £165million of his own money on the Bluebirds.
Harris still hopes to land Moore, but reports Warnock has also joined the hunt will come as an unwelcome distraction to the man who replaced him in the Cardiff hot-seat.
Moore, who stands at 6ft 5in, knows he would be perfectly suited to the direct style of play Warnock adopts.
Harris also feels Moore's stature, and ability on the ball that he has shown with Wales, means he can make the front-man the focal point of his own team.
According to the Northern Echo it has come down to a straight choice of Middlesbrough or Cardiff for Moore, after the two clubs had £2m-plus bids accepted by Wigan.
They say Boro will "make a final push in the next 24 hours and remain hopeful of persuading the Wigan striker to turn down Cardiff City in order to sign on at the Riverside."
Moore has spoken to Harris and Warnock as the tug-of-war breaks out over his future. He is aware the Cardiff or Middlesbrough sides would be built around him.
*Warnock accepts Cardiff are still favourites to land Moore, but remains hopeful some last minute persuasion can do the trick for Boro.*
Anyone think the wiley old fox is going to bag his catch from under Cardiff`s noses?
