Bristol City will have discussions over Sam Bell's short-term future ahead of the January transfer window after receiving five loan offers from EFL clubs.
The young Robins striker, 20, has yet to start for the senior side this season and has been limited to three substitute appearances in all competitions. He was out of the matchday squad for the first 17 league matches of the campaign.
Bell has been in prolific form for the Under-21s with 10 goals in his last 11 matches, including an impressive hat-trick against Category 1 academy Newcastle United earlier this month. Competition for places in the senior side has been strong this season with Nahki Wells, Tommy Conway, Antoine Semenyo, Andi Weimann and Chris Martin all ahead in the pecking order.
