Bristol City boss Lee Johnson admits Aden Flint could be on the move to the Premier League.

West Ham and West Brom are keen on the 27 year-old defender.

Speaking ahead of Sunday's final day clash at home to relegation-haunted Birmingham, Johnson said: “I can't give any assurances to be honest.

“We know what football's like.

“This happens at Man Utd, Bristol City or Rochdale if a club comes up with a figure that's big enough to matches the club's valuation.

“If you feel that the player wants to go – and the player's quadrupling their wages – and you've got a couple of players you can bring in that will be better or better in the future then it's again just part of football.

“You try and guard against that by giving your better players new contracts, like we did with Aden at the start of the season.

“That means the ball's in our court if there was a big bid.

“The timing's key, but the bigger key is to have ready-made replacements in every position anyway as you're always susceptible to a late bid."
