Transfer news: Wilfried Zaha and Kenwyne Jones set to move to Cardiff City


Sky sources understand Wilfried Zaha and Kenwyne Jones are at St George's Park for medicals ahead of their proposed moves to Cardiff City.
It is understood that England Under-21 winger Zaha will join Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side on loan for the remainder of the season for a fee in the region of £1.5million.
The 21-year-old has been restricted to just four appearances for United this season, one of which came in the Community Shield win over Wigan.
A move to south Wales would allow the former Crystal Palace man some much needed regular first-team action.
With Theo Walcott ruled out of the World Cup later this year, Zaha will no doubt hope to catch the eye of England manager Roy Hodgson during his loan spell at Cardiff.

Jones: Set to move from Stoke
Meanwhile, Stoke striker Jones is set to join Cardiff in a swap deal that will see Nigeria international Peter Odemwingie move the other way.
Jones was fined and dropped earlier this month after sending a text message to Mark Hughes the night before Stoke's 5-3 home Premier League defeat to Liverpool on January 12 saying he was not available to play.
Speaking to Sky Sports News upon arrival at St George's Park, Jones said: "Of course (I'm excited about the move).
"It's playing football so I'm really happy to go and try and help Cardiff City stay in the Premier League."

Fiorentina Veteran Luca Toni Says Stevan Jovetic is not loved

Luca Toni thinks that the treatment of Stevan Jovetic by Fiorentina fans will see him leave this summer. The Montenegrin front-man is wanted by Arsenal, Manchester City and Juventus - but he has insisted he is looking at finishing the season with Fiorentina before deciding his future. But Jovetic has struggled for form in recent weeks and has not scored since the end of March - which has led to some criticism on the terraces. And Toni feels this will have an adverse effect on Jovetic. "Stevan feels the Fiorentina fans treat him without love," Toni told a press conference. "Everybody says that the player's struggles will end when he starts scoring again. "The way I see it in this difficult period is that Jovetic is only supported when he is making a difference on the field. At the moment, there is no enthusiasm towards him - he does not feel loved."
