Bristol City defender could follow former teammate to Championship rivals on deadline day

Coventry City are targeting a deadline day move for Bristol City left-back Jay Dasilva which could present an intriguing dilemma for manager Nigel Pearson.

Dasilva is out of contract at the end of the season and unless the 24-year-old is willing to accept considerably lower terms than what he signed in 2019, is likely to leave Ashton Gate. Football Insider report that talks have taken place between City and Coventry over a move, as the Robins continue to shed their wage bill.

Auxerre are set to sign Han-Noah Massengo on loan and cover his full salary and having moved Dan Bentley to Wolves for a nominal fee and made a saving on the final six months of his contract a similar tactic could be applied to Dasilva, who also is among the team’s highest earners.
