Bristol City have missed out on one key summer transfer target after Nigel Pearson confirmed a player they were pursuing has opted to join another club.
The Robins have three of four transfer targets they will immediately attempt to sign at the end of the season, including Aberdeen's defensive utility player Ross McCrorie with the club set to face competition from their Championship rivals for his signature.
There could be numerous factors as to why the unknown player opted for a different team, such as wages, location, and league position but Pearson would not be despondent, saying he will not waste energy with people who do not want to be at the club.
