Ethan Horvath set to leave Cardiff City, could join Championship rivals
Cardiff City goalkeeper Ethan Horvath is expected to leave the club before the end of the transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.
The 30-year-old is attracting interest from a number of sides in the Championship, as well as teams from the MLS, Belgium, and Denmark.
Horvath is available on a free transfer after informing Cardiff at the end of last season that he would be leaving.
With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, the shot-stopper wants to be playing at the highest level possible to boost his chances of making the USA squad for the tournament.
Horvath seeks guaranteed gametime away from Cardiff
Last season, Horvath only started 17 Championship games for Cardiff and was left on the bench for five months in the middle of the campaign.
The goalkeeper hasn’t made the USA squad since October 2024, and will need guaranteed first-team minutes in order to force himself into the picture for next summer’s World Cup.
Horvath made the move to Cardiff from Nottingham Forest 18 months ago, and after a positive start to life in South Wales, has slightly fallen out of favour.
Back in the 2022/23 season, the American was first-choice goalkeeper for Luton Town as they won promotion to the Premier League through the play-offs.
However, since that successful campaign, Horvath has failed to hit the same heights again.
Liverpool midfield product set for Derby medical
Meanwhile, RB Salzburg midfielder Bobby Clark is having a medical at Derby County ahead of a season-long loan move, sources have told Football Insider.
The former Liverpool midfielder will undergo tests at Derby’s training ground before putting the finishing touches on a loan agreement.
A full agreement is in place and the terms of the deal have all been finalised.
Clark, 20, made 25 appearances for Salzburg last season, including six in the Champions League, and John Eustace has targeted him to add quality to his squad.
