HITC Sport understands Fulham eye move for Bristol City defender.
Premier League new boys Fulham are considering a move for Bristol City defender Aden Flint, HITC Sport understands.
Flint has established himself as a key player for Bristol City since joining from Swindon in the summer of 2013.
The giant defender is regarded as one of the best central defenders outside the Premier League after impressing in the Championship during the last couple of seasons.
Flint caught the eye during Bristol City’s surprise run to the Carabao Cup semi-finals this season and he was named man of the match in the first leg clash with Manchester City.
Brighton tried to sign Flint during the January transfer window, but Bristol City managed to keep hold of the player as they battled for promotion.
A number of clubs have been tracking Flint’s progress for some time and now Fulham could be ready to make a move for the defender as they plan ahead for life in the Premier League next season.
Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic knows he must add strength to his squad next season and he could be ready to offer Flint the chance to move to the Premier League.
Bristol City tied Flint down to a new contract in March, but they are bracing themselves for further interest in the the 6ft,6in defender during this summer’s transfer window.
