Nigel Pearson refused to get drawn into transfer speculation regarding Aberdeen's talent Ross McCrorie, amid links with the 25-year-old at the end of the last week.
Football Insider first reported the interest in McCrorie and Bristol Live can confirm the club are looking at the utility player over a potential summer move. However, City will need to fend off competition from other Championship clubs if they want to conclude a deal.
McCrorie fits the bill in terms of strengthening the right areas of the pitch. After the Middlesbrough draw last week, Pearson reiterated the message to address the balance in the squad when the transfer window opens including bringing in more defensive cover.
