Bristol City loan signing Chris Iwelumo is likely to decide his own future in the next couple of days. On loan from Premier League Wolves, the big striker has made a huge impact since moving to Ashton Gate, helping City take eight points from six games to move clear of relegation trouble. Robins boss Gary Johnson has made no secret of his desire to keep Iwelumo at Ashton Gate, while Wolves manager Mick McCarthy appears to be content to allow the Scottish international to remain put for a further month, provided he has the option of a 24-hour recall. If Johnson and McCarthy, who are firm friends, can reach an agreement over the weekend, the final decision could rest with the player himself and his family.

Chris Iwelumo believes he can help Wolves secure Premier League survival, although Gary Johnson would be glad to keep him on loan at Bristol City. Iwelumo is to play the last game of his current month-long deal with the Championship side away to Reading on Saturday. City boss Johnson is hoping to open talks with Wolves about the possibility of extending Iwelumo's loan spell. The Scotland international made a lightning start to last season, scoring 15 goals in his first 16 games for Wolves, but has struggled with injuries since Lee Carsley's horror tackle put him on the sidelines last April. The 31-year-old made just two league starts for Wolves this season before joining Bristol City but believes he is back in shape having scored twice in six games for the Robins. "I joined Wolves last year and I really hit the floor running there," he said.
