HITC Sport understands a host of clubs are eyeing former West Brom defender Donnellan.
Bristol City are among a number of clubs tracking Republic of Ireland Under-21 defender Shaun Donnellan, HITC Sport understands.
Donnellan has caught the eye at League Two side Yeovil after joining the club on a free transfer from West Bromwich Albion during the January transfer window.
The 21-year-old has helped Yeovil keep two clean sheets in the last two games he has started for Darren Way’s side and his displays have not gone unnoticed by clubs higher up the football pyramid.
Donnellan has also impressed on the international stage with the Republic of Ireland Under-21s this season, scoring a priceless last minute winner in Tuesday’s qualifier against Azerbaijan to boost the Irish side’s chances of qualifying for the Under-21s European Championship finals for a first time ever.
Donnellan spent the first half of this season on loan in League One with Walsall, for whom he made 11 appearances, including eight starts before being recalled to West Brom by new boss Alan Pardew.
Bristol City have been sending scouts on a regular basis to monitor Donnellan’s progress and the reports on him have been positive.
A number of other Championsip sides are also watching Donnellan and are weighing up a move for the powerful central defender.
Donnellan is under contract at Yeovil until 2019, but the League Two side are bracing themselves for interest in the defender this summer.
