HITC and the Bristol Post believe City will make Norwich City midfielder Marley Watkins their first recruit of the summer transfer window.

HITC suggest the club are also lining up a summer swoop for Portsmouth’s Matt Clarke.

The Post writes that the Pompey defender is also on the radar of Wolves, Hull City, Reading, Brighton and Watford.

When quizzed about his future at the pre-Hull City press conference, Bobby Reid told the Post that he’s “here to stay at Bristol City.”

In his weekly column for the Post, Leroy Rosenior believes Bobby Reid and Joe Bryan need another year in the second tier of English football.

Newport County manager Michael Flynn has confirmed that City loanee Shawn McCoulsky will not play for the Welsh side again having been diagnosed with pericarditis, as reported by the Post.

Finally, Lee Johnson has emerged as a favourite with the bookmakers to take charge at West Brom. However, former City boss Derek McIness remains the most likely to move to the Hawthorns, as the Post and Birmingham Mail highlights.
