Bristol City are said to be comfortable and confident around Reuben McAllister’s situation at Ashton Gate as noise around the teenager has risen to significant levels over the last 48 hours.
Over three articles from three separate publications - Bristol World, The Sun and Football Insider - the 16-year-old attacking midfielder has been linked with four Premier League clubs - Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Brighton & Hove Albion and Leicester City - plus Scottish giants Rangers and Celtic.
All are reported to have either watched the teenager, are monitoring his situation or been “made aware” of his talent. Bristol Live understands that City have not received a single bid for McAllister nor even an enquiry for the teenager, but that also doesn’t tell the full story.
