Bristol City are lining up a January move for the Plymouth Argyle striker Freddie Ladapo, according to the Daily Mirror (December 20, page 58).

The former Crystal Palace player has scored 12 goals in 26 games for Plymouth this season, his first since he arrived on a free transfer from Southend United.

And he could be on his way again this coming transfer window, with Bristol City seemingly not the only ones keen (Plymouth Live).

It is unclear how much Ladapo is likely to cost a potential buyer, although Plymouth can sleep easier in the knowledge that his contract runs beyond the end of the current campaign.

Bristol City have averaged just over a goal per game in the Championship this season, and signing Ladapo – who has scored twice as many as the Robins’ top marksman, Famara Diedhiou – could help to address that.

Ladapo, 25, began his career at Colchester United, before spells at Kidderminster Harriers, Margate, Crystal Palace and Plymouth.

Would the former Crystal Palace talent be a good addition for Bristol City?
