Bristol City have opened talks with Brighton & Hove Albion defender Haydon Roberts as the former England youth international is available on a free transfer.
As first reported by Football Insider, City are hopeful of concluding a deal for the versatile 21-year-old who spent last season on loan at Derby County in League One.
The Rams were keen to re-sign Roberts, after he impressed over 46 appearances across a number of roles in defence, but the promise of Championship football looks to have put City in the box seat.
