Nigel Pearson says he was instantly struck by Anis Mehmeti's burning desire to succeed after a series of career knockbacks gave him the new Bristol City arrival extra motivation to reach the top.
Mehmeti had been on the Robins radar for some time and the club moved swiftly to get the deal over the line after learning of his availability. City concluded the business with Wycombe Wanderers very much under wraps by matching a release clause in his contract believed to be in the region of £1million.
The 22-year-old arrives in a BS3 with a glowing reputation following his two-and-a-half-years with the Chairboys and is likely to take the position on the left of Pearson's front three following the sale of Antoine Semenyo to Bournemouth. Although Mehmeti's rise to the Championship has not been straightforward.
