Nigel Pearson is seeking clarity over Han-Noah Massengo's contract situation, admitting he doesn't want the stand-off to drag on much longer as he prepares to rebuild his squad ahead of next season.
The Bristol City manager confirmed the uncertainty over extending his stay at Ashton Gate has meant starts for the 20-year-old midfielder have remained limited. The Frenchman has started just one game in the last six matches which came in the absence of Joe Williams in the draw at home to Sheffield United.
Massengo's deal expires next summer and CEO Richard Gould admitted on Saturday that the club have made him "a good offer" to commit his future at Ashton Gate.
