Black Cats Chase a Blue Bird

Cardiff City's resolve to hang onto their stars this summer is set to be tested by Sunderland, who are ready to slap in a £3m bid for Roger Johnson. The star centre-back, named in the PFA's Championship team of the year, has been watched several times by Sunderland scouts in recent weeks. Sunderland manager Ricky Sbragia believes Johnson can bolster his defence and may make a summer swoop, whether his team are in the Premier League or the Championship. Johnson's stock has soared since City signed him for just £275,000 from Wycombe and he is one of the most sought after defenders outside the top flight.

The Mansfield-born winger, who has won four full caps for Scotland since 2008, only moved to Pride Park last summer in a controversial free transfer from East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest.
