After a barren period of precious transfer gossip, Dion Sanderson entered the Bristol City consciousness this week with both the Daily Mail and The Sun linking the Wolves defender to the Robins as the 22-year-old prepares for the third Championship loan of his career.
In fairness, the report did just say “monitoring”, which is a wholly subjective term as to assessing its definition that can mean anything from wanting to know daily updates on the player and actively scouting them or simply that they’ve been made aware of his availability and haven’t categorically said no yet.
In City’s case with Sanderson, it seems they very much fall into the latter interpretation of the phrase. In both the player’s and Wolves’ position it makes sense to have, at least in theory, as many clubs interested as possible, no matter the variance in option.
