Bristol City are chasing the AFCON star

The 24-year-old is a product of the Auxerre academy, which has also produced mercurial talents such as Manchester United legend Eric Cantona and former Liverpool striker Djibril Cissé.

Bristol City have certainly taken note of his talent and are claimed to have had a bid of around £2.5m turned down by the Ligue 1 club. The proposed deal is said to have included a sales percentage for Auxerre, but even that could not sway their decision.

Despite his importance to his squad, interest from across Europe has already been reported this summer for Sinayoko, and with just a year left on his contract in France, AJA could look to instigate a bidding war that could see the eventual tax to far exceed the proposed one. by Robins.

Liam Manning’s side will be looking to improve on their encouraging XI^th they finished in the Championship last season and add some quality they may have lacked in areas up front to get them close to the top six.
