Premier League giants Arsenal and Manchester City could reportedly receive offers from Bristol City for Eddie Nketiah and Zack Steffen.

Bristol City are interested in signing two Premier League starlets on loan this summer with Eddie Nketiah and Zack Steffen potentially on their way to Ashton Gate, as reported by the Bristol Post.

The Robins have enjoyed some real success with a number of top flight loanees in recent seasons. Tammy Abraham scored 26 goals during a spell at the club from Chelsea in 2016/17 while Jay DaSilva and Tomas Kalas have impressed under Lee Johnson this season.

And The Post believes that Bristol City would be keen to land Eddie Nketiah on a temporary deal from Arsenal if he is deemed not ready to fight for a first-team role at The Emirates.

The 19-year-old famously scored twice on his second appearance for The Gunners in an EFL Cup clash with Norwich City last season but he has struggled to kick on under Unai Emery despite netting seven times in nine Premier League 2 games.

Steffen, meanwhile, is an American international goalkeeper who was surprisingly snapped up by Manchester City from Columbus Crew in December for a fee of around £5.3 million, as reported by the Washington Post.

Bristol City have a good relationship with the Premier League champions and will be hoping to use this to their advantage with QPR shot-stopper Joe Lumley reported to be lined up as an alternative.
