Ontheminute.com understands that the Robins are monitoring the 23-year-old, joining Cardiff City, Stoke City and Blackburn Rovers in the developing race. Interest remains preliminary, with Manchester City yet to determine his immediate future.

Stoke may hold an advantage because the player previously spent time on loan with the Potters. Bristol City could counter by presenting a fresh project and a clearer pathway to regular football.
Manchester City will assess which destination offers the strongest development plan. Game time is expected to be central to any decision, rather than simply choosing the biggest club.
