The Welsh international is in the last year of his Bhoys contract – and Bluebirds representatives were on hand to watch him make his comeback from injury

Cardiff City want to bring Joe Ledley home for their Premier League campaign - after he made his Celtic comeback.

Welsh international Ledley is a £3million target for Malky Mackay as he tries to tempt him to return to the club where he made his name.

Ledley is a 'marquee' capture for the Bluebirds because of his links with the club and Cardiff will offer him a big rise to come to them.

Cardiff have been after Ledley for months, but his injury lay-off put the move on ice. However a delegation watched his comeback at the weekend.

Celtic know that Ledley is in the last year of his contract and may have to take a decent offer - despite raising funds by selling Victor Wanyama and Gary Hooper.

Mackay's recruitment drive has picked up lately and landing Ledley would add an extra buzz to the club before their first top-flight season.

Extra buzz? Premier League material? Marquee signing? What we need?

I'm not so sure.

Update:

from Terry Phillips at Wales Online: @ElTelPhillips

Cardiff have made no approach to Celtic for Ledley, won't be doing so. He's staying with Celtic. All the best, Joe. More SPL honours on way.
