Stoke City consider move for Bristol City captain as he enters final six months of his contract

Stoke City are considering Bristol City club captain Dan Bentley as a loan signing this month with the goalkeeper entering the last six months of his contract at Ashton Gate, Bristol Live understands.

Bentley has fallen out of favour in Nigel Pearson's first-team plans this season with Max O'Leary starting the last 13 league matches. The City stopper was the club's No1 at the beginning of the campaign but lost his place in the side following the 3-0 defeat at Birmingham in October.

The 29-year-old hasn't seen a minute of action since with the manager opting for youngster Stefan Bajic in the Carabao Cup loss to Lincoln and O'Leary in the FA Cup third round draw with Swansea on Sunday.
