Cardiff City Football Club are delighted to announce the loan signing of Will Alves from Leicester City, subject to international clearance.
Will is a 19-year-old winger and England youth international, where he previously worked with City boss Omer Riza. He joins the Bluebirds until the end of the 2024/25 season.
Alves made his first Premier League appearance for the Foxes against Manchester United at the end of December 2024.
Speaking about his new signing, Omer said: "Will is very powerful. He’s quick and has a great attitude. He’s a hungry player, has an aggression to want to run at players and get beyond the opposition.
"We’ve needed that a little bit and I'm glad he can now add that to our team."
Will added: "I’m buzzing and really excited. It’s a big Club to come to and I’m excited for the challenge ahead.
"I’m a creative player and I like to cause the opposition problems. This is an important experience for me. I want to kick on now."
Will is City's third signing of the winter transfer window, joining Yousef Salech and Sivert Mannsverk at Cardiff City Stadium.
Welcome to the Welsh capital, Will!
