Bristol City are interested in Derby County midfielder Jason Knight as they begin to plan for life after Alex Scott, although a move for the Republic of Ireland international is not dependent on the Robins star being sold this summer.
Bristol Live understands the Robins are increasingly keen on Republic of Ireland international Knight however rumours overnight of a bid are premature and there have only been initial inquiries made. That situation, however, could change over the coming days with a host of Championship clubs chasing his signature and City the first to show definitive and serious interest.
Knight made 50 appearances for the Rams last season across a host of positions - central midfield, attacking midfield, right-back and right wing-back, not dissimilar to Scott in his early days at City - but the 22-year-old is best suited to an attacking role in the middle of the park.
