Bristol City have opened talks with QPR over defender Rob Dickie and are set to complete a move for Aberdeen’s Ross McCrorie next week, as the Robins' summer recruitment operation kicks into action.
Football Insider detailed on Friday evening that Dickie has emerged as a summer target for Nigel Pearson and Bristol Live understands that report to be accurate with initial discussions having been productive. Furthermore, McCrorie is due for a medical at the High Performance Centre early next week ahead of concluding his switch from the Scottish Premiership club for a fee in the region of £2m.
City’s interest in the 25-year-old first emerged in April but the club have been monitoring his development for more than 12 months prior to that and they have beaten off a number of their Championship rivals, including Norwich City and West Brom, to secure the versatile midfielder/defender.
