Nigel Pearson responds to striker speculation amid Bristol City links with Kevin Nisbet

Nigel Pearson has dampened expectations of Bristol City signing a new striker this summer following recent reports linking the Robins with Lincoln City's Ben House and Hibernian's Kevin Nisbet.

The Real EFL linked House with the Robins last week, in which Bristol Live understands there is no interest, while The Sun suggested City were one of a few Championship sides scouting 26-year-old Nisbet, who has scored 10 goals in 15 Scottish top flight appearances under former Robins manager Lee Johnson.

Signing new central defenders remains the key priority this summer while City also want to bring in a new left-back with Jay Dasilva expected to depart on a free transfer despite being offered a new contract. At least one central midfielder will also be on the shortlist with Aberdeen's Ross McCrorie a key target.
