Nigel Pearson is confident that Bristol City are closing in on their first two signings of the summer and is working on the assumption that Alex Scott will remain with the Robins for next season.
Throughout his time at Ashton Gate, Pearson has also maintained his preference for getting the bulk of his business secured before pre-season kicks off. After the frustrations of his first summer window in 2021, that proved the case 12 months ago when Kal Naismith, Mark Sykes and Kane Wilson were all announced before mid-June.
Speaking on BBC Radio Bristol, the manager appeared optimistic of a similar set of circumstances occurring in this post-season although, of course, he was reluctant to divulge any names or details.
