American striker set to stay with Dallas
FC Dallas have insisted that Cardiff target Kenny Cooper will not be going anywhere this summer.
The Bluebirds have agreed a fee of around £2million with MLS Soccer, who hold the players' contracts in America.
That means the 23-year-old could still make the move to Ninian Park if he agrees personal terms with the Bluebirds.
However, Dallas head coach Shellas Hyndman stated earlier this week that he was hopeful of keeping Cooper.
And Dallas general manager Michael Hitchcock has now told all interested parties there is very little chance of prising Cooper away.
"We received offers from multiple international clubs for Kenny Cooper during this transfer window, but we elected to decline them all," Hitchcock said in the
South Wales Echo.
"The international interest is a credit to Kenny, FC Dallas, and the ever increasing talent level in Major League Soccer.
"Winning championships is our priority, and we feel strongly that Kenny will continue to be an important part of our success as we compete for the MLS Cup this year and in the future."
Cooper is believed to want to stay in Dallas after being offered a dramatically improved pay deal.
