Bristol Rovers are closing in on an ambitious swoop for Plymouth Argyle centre-back James Wilson, with the Gas stealing him from under the noses of the League One champions.
Bristol Live understands that Wilson is due at The Quarters for a medical this week having agreed on personal terms following an exhaustive pursuit by Rovers who have made him their No1 defensive target this summer.
The 34-year-old is out of contract at Home Park this summer and the Gas have presented him with a longer and more financially appealing contract than the one offered to him by Plymouth who could now lose the second major piece of their title-winning side after Niall Ennis joined Blackburn Rovers last month.
