Cardiff City midfielder Peter Whittingham is keeping his options open, according to his representatives.

The former Aston Villa man still has a year left to run on his existing contract, but with no players making their way into the club due to the current transfer embargo, Key Sports Management have admitted he is not in a rush to leave the club or sign a new contract offer.

Speaking to the South Wales Echo, his representatives said: "There is an offer on the table from Cardiff City and it is being looked at. The financial situation Cardiff find themselves in is a concern, naturally.

"Like any player, Peter is very ambitious. With Cardiff unable to bring any new players in because of the embargo, you do start to question things. We also know that being unable to bring in new players, Cardiff are not keen on selling any of the players they currently have.

"Peter enjoyed his best season last year with Cardiff and he has options. We do not feel there is any need to rush things.

"Of course, in January he would be free to talk to other clubs, but that is not to say he won't be committing himself to Cardiff. Peter is happy at Cardiff. He is focused on the start of the new season."
