It is claimed that the Bristol City captain Bailey Wright is expected at Sunderland on Monday.
Bristol City fans are reacting to reports that Bailey Wright is close to joining Sunderland.
Bristol Live claims that Wright, who is the Robins’ club captain, is expected at Sunderland on Monday.
The centre-back is said to have had his move delayed by injuries to Nathan Baker and Tomas Kalas, and will remain at Ashton Gate as cover in the meantime.
The Sunderland manager Phil Parkinson had already alluded to a new recruit being due at the start of next week.
And if it is to be Wright, it appears that he will leave with the Bristol City fans’ blessing
Wright has only appeared in three of Bristol City’s Championship matches this season, and is due to become a free agent at the end of it.
The 27-year-old Australia international began his career at Preston North End and moved to Ashton Gate in January 2017.
While at Deepdale, Wright helped Preston to promotion from Sunderland’s current division – League One – via the play-offs.
