'A disgrace' - Nigel Pearson recalls Jesse Lingard deal as he discusses Bristol City loan moves

Bristol City will consider looking at Premier League loan deals in the January transfer market but stressed that it will only happen if the financials make sense.

Nigel Pearson has been reluctant to bring players in temporarily because Premier League player's wages are typically much higher than the current squad, there's usually an agreement to play them in a certain number of matches and he previously alluded to the existing culture not being strong enough to make loan signings.

Pearson has yet to make a loan signing since his appointment in February 2021 with Fulham duo Steven Sessegnon and Alfie Mawson the last temporary arrivals in September 2020.
