Sala's arrival in Wales comes just 24 hours after the Bluebirds announced they had signed Oumar Niasse from Everton on loan.

This move has been one of the transfer sagas of this January window, but on Saturday evening - Cardiff officially announced they'd got their man.

On Saturday morning, it was announced Sala had rejected a late bid from China to try and lure him away from Wales.

Cardiff have struggled offensively all season - and Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Newcastle United displayed their weakness.

"I'm very happy to be here," Sala told Cardiff's official website. "It gives me great pleasure and I cannot wait to start training, meet my new team-mates and get down to work.

"For me, it feels special (to be the club's record signing). I have come here wanting to work and to help my team-mates and the club. I can't wait to get to work straight away and do everything I can."

The Argentine striker could make his debut for Cardiff, as they travel to Arsenal on January 29.
