ISAAK DAVIES is attracting interest from across Europe, with clubs in France, Germany and Belgium all keen to sign him.

The 22-year-old forward from Wales is on loan to Belgian side Kortrijk from Cardiff for a season and has scored eight goals in twenty games in the Jupiler Pro League.

Davies’ impressive performances on the continent have alerted Euro hopefuls, with Monaco, Freiburg and Genk all leading the hunt for his signature.

Davies is under contract with the Bluebirds until the summer of 2025, but his emergence means the forward is likely to make a move this summer.

Kortrijk are second in the table but Davies’ winner at second-placed Anderlecht on Saturday inflicted their first home defeat of the season.

Davies was a youth team product of Cardiff and was previously the subject of a £2.5 million bid from Burnley.

While the highly rated Davies, who joined the Championship club at the age of seven, had also attracted the attention of Brentford and Southampton.

Uncapped Davies was left out of Wales’ Robert Page squad for Thursday’s Euro 2024 play-off semi-final against Finland in Cardiff.

But the versatile forward has represented Wales at all levels between U17 and U21 and if he continues his form in Europe, Page will have to take that into account.

Cardiff could do with Davies’ goals and assists at the moment as they sit 11th in the Championship.

They are currently eight points away from a play-off spot, with the season at risk of coming to naught.

Adding to the misery is the fact that they lost the South Wales derby 2-0 to Swansea City this weekend.

In more positive news, Aaron Ramsey returned for the Blue Birds this weekend after coming off the bench.

His fitness will be key for Wales if they want to qualify for the European Championship.

WALES are sweating on skipper Aaron Ramsey ahead of their Euro 2024 play-off bid next month.

The 33-year-old midfielder from Cardiff is being scanned today for a calf injury.

Former Arsenal and Juventus star Ramsey missed Saturday's 4-1 Championship defeat to Norwich.

And boss Erol Bulut expects him to sit out Blackburn's visit tomorrow.

Bulut said: “For Tuesday it will be difficult, I think about a week.

“He got injured and has problems with his calf.

“Perry Ng also injured his hip. That's why they didn't play.

“For Tuesday, Aaron, it will be difficult. I think it will be a short time, about a week.

“We saw in the last game, at West Brom, that when he came in it was a different game to how we started.

“We had a few chances to score and make it 1-1.

“It would be great to have him, but if a player is injured, I can't change that.

But SunSport understands Ramsey, recently back from a serious knee injury sustained in September, will now undergo a scan.

Both club and country will hope it is a minor setback when Wales host Finland in the European Championship semi-finals in Cardiff on March 21.

A mother has revealed how she paid £600 for her eight-month-old son to 'live in an attic at the top of an old man's house'.

Arlo's mother Anya, who lives on the top floor of an 'old man's house' in Cardiff, explains that it was a 'very interesting experience'.

Her living space currently consists of a small living room, with adjacent kitchen, as well as a bathroom and bedroom.

She says, “The tricky part is that this is the living room, Arlo's playroom, the laundry room and the kitchen all in one.”

The young mother is now documenting her journey as she moves from the one-bedroom house to a two-bedroom house.

Anya, who shares updates on her TikTok, says: “I wanted to be completely transparent and show my living situation with an eight-month-old.

“I'm grateful for a safe place, but walking up two flights of stairs and not having enough space now that he's older can be stressful.”

She continues: “I am raising my eight-month-old child in an attic upstairs in an old man's house.

“That sounds so unreliable, but no.

“I live in a flat on the top floor, which is essentially the attic, and the landlord, who is old enough to be my grandfather, lives at the bottom of the house – which has been a very interesting experience.”

Anya is currently using her son's playpen for storage as they prepare for the move.

She currently pays £600 a month for the small apartment, but appreciates the cost because of how 'expensive' Cardiff is to 'live in'.

Anya says: “In Cardiff that's great for a flat.

“It is also located in a beautiful area, where everything is within walking distance.”

Speaking of attic apartment, she says: “The kitchen is small, the oven is really old-fashioned, just like the washing machine.”

But Anya likes the living room area.

She says: “I tried to make it as nice and cozy as possible, but the sofa is really uncomfortable.

“Arlo has a lot of toys, but we have to put them away.

“It's really cute how high up we are, and the views from up here can be so beautiful.”

Despite not liking the size of the place, Anya will 'miss' her 'small, cozy place'.

She says: “Mostly because Arlo's first few months were his, but for the most part I hate it. It's so old fashioned, there's no storage space.

“It's hard to be proud of your own place if you don't like your living situation.”

The video has since gone viral and many are shocked at the amount she pays in rent per month.

Housing crisis

One wrote: “£600 a month girl. I have a five bedroom house and my mortgage is less than 500 landlords preying on people and ripping them off.”

Another added: “My jaw dropped when you said £600 a month.”

To which Anya replied: “And I think that's good. Purely because most apartments here are much more expensive than that.”

A third said: “£600??? I'm £750, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, lounge, dining room, front and back garden, double driveway. I am in central Scotland. I thought I paid too much.”

Anya then uploaded another video in response to the comments.

She said: “I am absolutely in shock.

“The funniest thing is that I actually thought it was a good deal, at £600 a month, because I've been brainwashed by how expensive it is to live in Cardiff at the moment.”
