The transfer window officially opens this week and the market is set to kick into gear after the traditional slow period in late May as the bulk of the nation's players and managers go on holiday.
Bristol City's squad still have around two weeks left of their summer break but are due back at the Robins High Performance Centre on Friday for initial testing - a symbol of how close pre-season and preparation for 2022/23 is.
Having landed Mark Sykes and Kal Naismith so far this summer, the Robins are undoubtedly in the market for more business with Nigel Pearson keen on a defensive midfielder and right wing-back, amongst other positions.
