Bristol City are poised to sign Nottingham Forest winger Jamie Paterson, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
Paterson has found his first-team chances limited in Philippe Montanier’s plans so far this season with the wide man yet to start a game in the Championship.

The 24-year-old has made a brief cameo appearance off the bench against Brighton, while he has started both EFL Cup games, scoring in the 2-1 win over Millwall.
Jamie Paterson spent last season on loan Huddersfield Town
Paterson spent last season on loan at Huddersfield Town after finding himself down the pecking order at the City Ground.
Paterson made 34 appearances for Huddersfield last season, scoring six goals and Huddersfield were keen to turn his loan move into a permanent deal.
A number of clubs have been monitoring Paterson’s situation at the City Ground, but Bristol City have moved to steal a march on their rivals by agreeing a deal for the skilful attacker.
Bristol City boss Lee Johnson is keen to build a squad capable of challenging for promotion this season and he sees Paterson as being a valuable addition to his plans.
