Bluebirds like the look of Forest defender
Skysports.com understands Cardiff are considering making an approach for Nottingham Forest defender Luke Chambers.
The centre-half has entered the final year of his contract at the City Ground and is yet to agree fresh terms.
Talks regarding a new deal are believed to have been opened, but no paperwork has been signed as yet.
Chambers, who was handed the captain's armband by Steve McClaren over the summer, has indicated that he would like to remain with the Reds.
His future is yet to be decided, though, and Cardiff believe they may be able to lure the 25-year-old to Wales.
Forest would be reluctant to lose a key man, with Chambers having been named their Player of the Year last season, but know they need to act fast if they are to avoid putting themselves in a difficult situation.
Malky Mackay is in the market for defensive reinforcements as Cardiff prepare to mount another promotion push in the Championship and they could test the Reds' resolve before the transfer window slams shut.
