According to reports from The Sun, West Ham are interested in Bristol City defender Aden Flint.  Flint has been in good form this season and has also attracted the interest of Aston Villa and Derby County.

After solid displays during the past two Championship seasons, many feel that the 27 year old is now ready to compete in the Premier League.

Flint has made 53 appearances in all competitions this season for Lee Johnson’s side, scoring 5 goals. Though the club would ideally like to have him remain at the club, as he is a key part of their squad, it may not be possible given that there is a lot of interest in him.

Should a sale take place, The Robins are set to pocket a sum of money believed to be in the region of £5 million. He will definitely be tempted by a move which will allow him to play in the Premier League.
