Bristol Rovers are pushing to complete a permanent deal with Barnsley for Luke Thomas, Bristol Live understands.
Talks are ongoing over what could be a three-year agreement for the 23-year-old, who was part of Rovers' promotion-winning team last season. Thomas spent the season on loan with the Gas and featured prominently in the run-in as the Gas snatched a place in League Two's top three on the final day.
Thomas has a year remaining on his contract at Oakwell and has been involved in the Tykes' pre-season programme under Michael Duff, playing in the friendlies against Worksop and Crewe Alexandra.
