Bristol City and their rivals have until the end of the window to sign players

It has been a quiet transfer window for Bristol City so far. They are yet to sign any players and are being patient with their recruitment.

The Robins aren’t rushing into any deals and have until the deadline on Monday 3rd February. They have the chance to add some more quality to their ranks.

Bristol City won 2-1 at home to Blackburn Rovers over the weekend to boost their play-off hopes. Scott Twine and Nakhi Wells got their goals at Ashton Gate.

Middlesbrough eye David Strelec deal

Middlesbrough are eyeing a £5million deal for Slovan Bratislava striker David Strelec, according to The Sun. Boro are keen to land the forward before the end of the January transfer window. Strelec, 23, joined his current club on loan back in 2023 before his transfer was later made permanent. He has since scored 29 goals in 79 games in all competitions, 15 of which have come this season.

The Slovakia international rose up through the academy ranks at Slovan Bratislava and was a regular for them at various different youth levels before breaking into their first-team. He was lured away by Spezia in 2023 but ended up returning shortly after. Michael Carrick could see Strelec as someone to boost his attacking department ahead of the second-half of the campaign. Boro were beaten 2-1 away at Preston North End and are three points above Bristol City in the table.

Speaking after their loss at Deepdale, Carrick said: “Today I thought it was there for us. We started well, defended well and took control for large parts. There were a couple of moments where we shot ourselves in the foot. The boys are devastated, I'm disappointed. It is a horrible day to be sitting here with nothing.

“It’s not a good watch at all. We’ve shot ourselves in the foot, from being in a position where all we could see was another goal coming our way.”

Sheffield Wednesday want Stuart Armstrong

Sheffield Wednesday want to sign midfielder Stuart Armstrong from Vancouver Whitecaps, as per journalist Alan Nixon on Patreon. The 32-year-old moved to Canada last year and has since scored two goals in 11 games in MLS. Armstrong, who is a Scotland international, is now being linked with a move back to England already. The Owls drew 2-2 with Bristol City last week and are also eyeing a place in the top six.

After signing him, Vancouver Whitecaps’ sporting director Axel Schuster said, as per BBC Sport: “He is a player who has excelled for many years at the highest levels in the United Kingdom, as well as internationally with Scotland. He brings experience, tactical awareness, positional flexibility, and a very high work rate. In addition, his passing range and elite chance creation from the midfield position will add another dimension to our team’s overall attack.”

Armstrong is a vastly experienced player and has had spells in the past at Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Dundee United, Celtic and Southampton in the past. He helped the latter go up last year under their former manager Russell Martin before heading out the exit door as a free agent.
