Cardiff City have been linked with a move for Tromso midfielder Jens Hjertø Dahl as they look to strengthen their squad following their return to the Championship.
The Bluebirds secured an immediate return to the second tier and are determined to avoid another battle against relegation as they prepare for the new campaign.
The club’s owner is eager to ensure Cardiff establish themselves in the Championship and eventually challenge for promotion to the Premier League. Achieving that objective is expected to require further additions to the squad during the current transfer window.
Cardiff Identify Midfield Target
Strengthening the midfield is believed to be one of the club’s priorities, and Hjertø Dahl has emerged as a player who fits their plans after impressing for Tromso.
The 20-year-old midfielder has made almost 100 league appearances for Tromso since making his debut in 2023 and has developed into one of the club’s standout performers.
According to Football League World, Cardiff have identified the Norwegian as a transfer target as they continue their search for players capable of improving the squad ahead of the new season.
Competition Could Increase
Interest in players from the Eliteserien has grown among clubs in England’s Championship and League One over recent seasons, and Hjertø Dahl could be the latest player to make the move.
His consistent performances have attracted attention, and Cardiff are aware that delaying an approach could encourage rival clubs to enter the race for his signature.
The Welsh club are therefore expected to act quickly if they decide to pursue the midfielder seriously. Securing a deal early would reduce the risk of increased competition and provide Cardiff with another promising option as they prepare for the challenges of the Championship season.
