Nigel Pearson reveals the Bristol City player free to leave and discusses Chris Martin's future

Nigel Pearson has confirmed the club are looking to offload out of favour defender Timm Klose this month while striker Chris Martin knows "exactly where he stands."

The Bristol City manager confirmed three players who are approaching the end of their contracts have been told they were free to leave the club during the January window in order to trim the wage bill and raise funds to bring in January arrivals. Although Pearson refused to divulge at the time which players they may be.

Despite wanting to do business early, City have yet to add a new face which has ultimately come down to the fact no senior players have left the club. Ryley Towler moved to Portsmouth earlier in the window but the transfer fee, thought to be low six-figures, will be reinvested in the academy.
