Bristol City have agreed a deal to sign Cheltenham Town star Mo Eisa.

Gloucestershire Live' s Jon Palmer shared the news after Eisa sat out of Cheltenham's pre-season friendly defeat to Birmingham City.

In what is being described as a record deal, the Robins have reportedly put in a bid larger than those submitted by Portsmouth and Sunderland for the striker, who netted 23 goals in 45 league appearances for Cheltenham last season.

Peterborough United also had a £1m bid rejected for the striker earlier this month.

Last season saw Eisa set League Two ablaze in what was his first season in full-time professional football having previously played for Dartford, Corinthian and Greenwich Borough.

At Greenwich, he scored an impressive 52 goals in 83 matches.

The 24-year-old, born in Sudan, is part of a talented footballing family, with his brother Abo Eisa having made the step up from National League South side Wealdstone to League One side Shrewsbury Town in January.

If the transfer goes ahead, it also represents business between father and son, with Robins boss Lee Johnson buying the player off his dad Gary, manager of Cheltenham.

It is a move that will more than likely spell the end of the Robins ' interest in Peterborough United striker Jack Marriott.
