Cardiff City forward Callum Robinson has emerged as a potential target for Plymouth Argyle as they look to replace Lorent Tolaj. The 31-year-old has found himself down the pecking order at Cardiff, making just 14 starts last season despite contributing 10 goals and 3 assists in 47 appearances.
Why Plymouth Argyle need a new striker
Plymouth Argyle narrowly missed out on the League One play-offs last season, finishing just outside the top six. The loss of Lorent Tolaj to Bristol City has left a significant gap in their attack, and manager Tom Cleverley is keen to bring in a proven goalscorer. With Bim Pepple's future also uncertain, Plymouth may need to recruit more than one striker to bolster their squad for another promotion push.
Why Cardiff could sell Robinson
Cardiff City secured promotion to the Championship last season, finishing second in League One with 91 points from 27 wins, 10 draws, and 9 losses. With Robinson having just one year left on his contract and his playing time limited, Cardiff may consider selling him to raise funds. The 31-year-old's experience and goal-scoring record make him an attractive option for League One clubs looking to strengthen their attack.
What Robinson could bring to Plymouth
Robinson's intelligent movement and proven eye for goal would provide Plymouth with a ready-made replacement for Tolaj. His experience in the Championship and at international level with the Republic of Ireland could be invaluable for a Plymouth squad aiming to finally get over the line and secure promotion. Robinson has contributed to 97 goals and assists in 272 Championship appearances, with a further 19 in 66 games in League One.
What comes next for Cardiff
Cardiff's next fixture is at home against Middlesbrough on 16 January 2027. With the new season not yet under way, Cardiff will be looking to strengthen their squad for the Championship. Selling Robinson could provide them with the funds to bring in new players and continue their progress under manager Tom Cleverley.
