Cardiff City are bracing themselves for a £5m bid from Premier League QPR for star midfielder Jordon Mutch, according to reports.
The promoted West London outfit are looking to add Mutch, who scored seven Premier League goals last season, to their squad and link him up with former Bluebirds captain Steven Caulker.
Rs manager Harry Redknapp is willing to come up with £5m to land the 22-year-old, beating off the interest of Sunderland, in the process.

Bluebirds boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does not want to sell Mutch but, as the former Birmingham City man only has one year left on his contract, would be unlikely to risk him leaving for free next summer.
As well as linking back up with England defender Caulker, a move to Loftus Road would see Mutch join a squad including Chilean World Cup star Mauricio Isla, who is due to join from Juventus, and striker Loic Remy, whose proposed move to Liverpool fell down last weekend.
