Cardiff chief executive Ken Choo told his club’s official website: “It’s obviously been a long process to secure the services of Emiliano but I’m very pleased that we’re now in a position whereby we can confirm his signature.“We see Emiliano as a significant acquisition and welcome him wholeheartedly to the capital city of Wales.”
