Bristol City transfer round-up: New side join hunt for ex-Leeds man, Rangers signal intentions regarding 19-y/o Robins target | OneFootball

Bristol City have big plans for the summer transfer window.

The Robins endured a really frustrating campaign last time out and will be hoping to enjoy a much more successful campaign this term as they look towards a potential top half finish in the Championship.

It’s going to be Nigel Pearson’s first summer in charge of the club and so he’ll be looking to make his mark on the squad.

Several players have already left Ashton Gate and that means that the club are monitoring several targets as they look to bolster their options ahead of the big kick-off.

With that in mind here are the latest transfer rumours surrounding the club.

21 things every Bristol City fan should know about their club, so can you score 100% on this?

Barry Douglas

Bristol City face an uphill battle to sign the full-back as another competitor entered the race.

Reports from the Scottish Sun have claimed that Italian side Brescia are now contenders to sign the 31-year-old after offering the player a contract that would see him move to Serie B.

With the Robins joining Rangers and Celtic in the hunt, it’s going to be interesting to see where the former Leeds man ends up after leaving Elland Road at the end of his contract.

Josh McPake

Bristol City face a nervous wait as Glasgow Rangers open talks with the midfielder over a new deal.

According to reports from Football Insider, the 19-year-old is in discussions over a three-year contract that will see him commit his future to Steven Gerrard’s for the long-term.

Both the Robins and Queens Park Rangers have been credited with an interest in the player, while the likes of Doncaster Rovers, Morecambe, Motherwell, Oldham Athletic and Tranmere Rovers are also said to be keen.

McPake is no stranger to the EFL after spending time on loan with Harrogate Town where the winger scored four goals in 23 appearances for the club.
