Bristol City want Britt Assombalonga for free

Britt Assombalonga’s future at Middlesbrough is clear - he has to leave once his current contract expires in the summer.

Reports claim that Bristol City are lining up a move for Middlesbrough forward Britt Assombalonga, whose future at Boro has already been decided.

Boro manager Neil Warnock revealed last week that they would not be offering a new contract to the forward this summer.

Several clubs are lining up to sign him for free in the summer transfer window.

Scottish Champions Rangers have been linked to the Congolese international, and now Bristol City have once again joined the race to sign him after missing out on securing a move in the last transfer window.
