Malky Mackay is facing a race against time to sign two players before the transfer deadline tomorrow.

The Cardiff City boss is interested in Brighton and Hove Albion winger Craig Noone and Wycombe Wanderers youngster Kadeem Harris.

Cardiff will reportedly submit an offer worth around £1.5m for Noone after having a £500,000 bid rejected.

Noone signed for Brighton from Plymouth for £300,000 last year.

Harris, meanwhile, will also attract a substantial bid after he was awarded the League Two Apprentice of the Year award last April.

Cardiff travel to second-placed Southampton in the Championship on Tuesday.
