With Bristol City already concluding the signings of three new additions, Nigel Pearson's summer recruitment plan is in full swing.
However, he is unlikely to stop there with areas of the squad that still require fine-tuning and assessing. The centre of midfield is one of those with a defence-minded player towards the top of the shortlist.
Another central defender could be in the offering despite the growing number of players in that position among the City while a new striker would also make sense to provide back-up and competition especially considering the ongoing uncertainty of Nahki Wells' future.
