Bristol City are closing in on the signing of Aberdeen’s Ross McCrorie, Bristol Live understands, with the defensive midfielder set to become Nigel Pearson’s first addition of the summer transfer window.
Talks have taken place over the weekend in Scotland and the Robins have jumped ahead of a number of other Championship clubs, including some in the play-off race, to emerge as firm favourites to sign the 25-year-old.
BBC Scotland report discussions involve a fee of "around £2million", however sources have indicated that is at the upper end of the scale and negotiations are ongoing but there is confidence from both parties that a deal can be concluded.
