Bristol City defender Aden Flint has reportedly attracted the attentions of West Ham United.

According to a report in The Sun, West Ham United are set to make a move for Bristol City defender Aden Flint in the summer transfer window.

Flint’s performances in the Championship and League One have caught the eye, with the defender earning a reputation as a valuable asset in both boxes.

Flint’s defensive qualities make him a tough opponent for strikers to get round, with his aerial strength one of his main qualities.

Flint has netted 25 goals in the past three seasons, with Bristol City generally aiming their set-pieces at the commanding centre-back.
