Chopra heads for Cardiff

Cardiff have completed the signing of striker Michael Chopra from Sunderland for a club-record fee.

Chopra, who agreed a three-year deal worth in the region of 4 million pounds (6.5 million dollars), told Cardiff’s official website: “I’m really glad it’s all sorted now and, like all the other lads, I’m excited and determined to go that extra mile to gain promotion.”

The 25-year-old is the third player to sign for Cardiff this week after the arrival of centre-backs Mark Hudson and Anthony Gerrard, while full-back Paul Quinn is also expected to complete his move from Motherwell in the coming days.
