Cardiff City manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has claimed that his new club are destined for big things - and made light of any potential Premier League fight with their Welsh rivals.
Although Swansea City currently occupy 15th position in the Premier League table, one positive for the club’s fans amid the growing fears over a relegation battle will be that they sit five positions and three points ahead of bottom-placed Cardiff City.
However, despite Cardiff’s perilous position, Solskjaer believes that his partnership with controversial club owner Vincent Tan can propel Cardiff into the top half of the table, and brushed off the importance of the rivalry between the two Welsh Premier League clubs.
“Of course we have Swansea to challenge with, but we are the capital city”, Solskjaer said.
“Our aim is to be a top 10 club in the medium to long term and build from there. Vincent Tan is a winner who wants all his businesses to be successful and in the short-term it’s important we stay in the Premier League.
“When I say top 10 that’s in the medium to long term and who knows in the long, long term?”
The second South Wales derby of the Premier League era takes place at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday, February 8.
