Bristol City are reportedly set to offer Sunderland playmaker Aiden McGeady a route back into the Championship.

McGeady only joined Sunderland last summer in a £250,000 deal from Everton but despite his seven goals and five assists last term he couldn’t help the Black Cats from being relegated to League One.

Chairman Stewart Donald confirmed on Twitter earlier in the week that there are ‘very, very few’ players who would like to remain at the club this season and the 32-year-old could be tempted by a move to Ashton Gate.

The Robins are known to be in the market for a new winger and have also been linked with Aston Villa winger Albert Adomah in recent days.

And HITC Sport claim that McGeady has been identified as one of City boss Lee Johnson’s top targets this summer.

The 32-year-old has one year left on his current deal at the Stadium of Light and the Black Cats could be tempted to cash in on the former Spartak Moscow and Celtic star as they begin their League One rebuild.

Manager Jack Ross has said that the groundwork has already been laid to bring new signings to Wearside and Sunderland have been linked with a whole host of new players this summer.
