OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER will seal his move for ManchesterUnited winger Wilfried Zaha tomorrow morning and look to plunge him straight into action for Cardiff City’s Premier League crunch with Norwich.

The Bluebirds had planned to formally announce the high-profile capture of United’s £10million man tonight, as well as the permanent signing of Zaha’s Old Trafford teammate Fabio.

But paperwork at United’s end was holding up the Zaha loan deal, although the Bluebirds have now secured the deal.

Provided official clearance is sanctioned by then, Zaha will be available for the must-win Cardiff City Stadium clash against Norwich when he will receive a rapturous ovation from excited Bluebirds fans.

Zaha and Fabio have each trained with Solskjaer’s team at their Vale of Glamorgan base this week as the Cardiff boss finalises his preparations for the big match.

Zaha even took to Instagram to post a picture of himself in Cardiff’s kit.

A third Soslkajer signing, Kenwyne Jones from Stoke, is also in the running to start against Norwich, although if Solskjaer plumps for just one striker Fraizer Campbell is more likely to get the nod.

Zaha could take over from Craig Bellamy on the flank, while Fabio seems certain to replace teenager Declan John at left-back.

Although he will spend Friday morning on the training ground going through his plans for Norwich, Solskjaer will have a mobile phone permanently with him. He still harbours hopes of landing two further targets - a centre-back and another striker – which would take his January window transfer tally to eight.

Cardiff will only fund the extra signings if deals can be done with the right men, Solksjaer wishing to have players who are fully fledged internationals. The City boss expects to be busy right up until the 11pm closure of the window.

Solskjaer was also being linked with Lazio’s French defender Michael Ciani, a 6ft 3in centre-back who has appeared once for his country at international level.
