Cardiff: So, it looks like Calum Chambers is really enjoying his new role in midfield. He’s been playing there for the last four games and says it’s his favorite spot on the pitch. Can you believe he was a defensive midfielder at Fulham and even won their player of the season back in 2019? He was pretty bummed when he went back to Arsenal and they didn’t keep him in that position.
Instead, he spent most of his career in defense, but now that he’s moved up to midfield at Cardiff, he’s been shining. He was the standout player against Watford last time out. Chambers mentioned how much he loves being in the middle of the action, especially with the upcoming South Wales derby against Swansea.
He shared that he had a good run at Fulham and felt it was the right position for him. It’s a bit frustrating that Arsenal didn’t give him a chance to stay in midfield, but he’s thrilled to have another shot at it now.
On another note, Tom Davies has officially left Cardiff to join Newport County. He’s looking for more regular first-team action. After making his debut at just 17, he hoped to challenge for a starting spot but ended up mostly playing under-21s football.
Davies spent last season on loan at Kilmarnock but didn’t get much playtime there either. Now, at 21, he’s eager to kickstart his career and feels Newport is the right place for him. He’s excited about their style of play and can’t wait to get started.
And let’s not forget about Cedric Kipre. He opened up about his loan move to Cardiff and how it was a real wake-up call for him. After not playing much at West Brom, he joined Cardiff and made a big impact, even scoring a crucial goal that helped secure their Championship status.
Kipre felt the pressure of being watched by West Brom while playing for Cardiff, and it motivated him to step up his game. He returned to West Brom last summer and had a fantastic season, even being voted the club’s best player. It’s great to see how he turned things around!
