A transfer target for a handful of Premier League clubs has responded after being made to train with the under-21s team at his current club.

Bristol City head coach Liam Manning says 'bits are going on' with Tommy Conway amid reported transfer interest from Wolves this summer.

Earlier this year, Conway was linked with a move to Molineux along with several other Premier League teams; Brentford, Leicester City and Nottingham Forest. Scottish Premiership giants Celtic and Rangers are also said to hold an interest in the Scotland under-21 international.

A departure from Ashton Gate looks to be on the cards after the Robins made Conway train with the under-21s. He is not being considered a part of their preparations for the upcoming campaign after contract talks hit an impasse. 

Conway has 12 months left to run on his current deal, and having been offered new terms last season, talks have gone cold. His representatives are now being tasked with finding a new club, but as of yet there has been nothing substantial, and that's how things remain.

"Not at the minute," responded Manning to the Bristol Post when asked if anything had progressed on the transfer front for Conway. 

"Tommy's coming in every day, working hard and doing what he needs to do. The staff are looking after him. There are bits going on behind the scenes but nothing is done as of yet so nothing at the moment."

A centre-back is likely to be Wolves' priority at the minute after selling Max Kilman to West Ham for £40m. Jake O'Brien was a reported target but he is heading to Everton with Wolves priced out of a move.

Gary O'Neil sought a striker and landed one in Jorgen Strand Larsen, who has arrived on loan from Celta Vigo. The 24-year-old netted 13 times in La Liga last season, and he is hopeful of improving his tally in the Premier League.

Wolves were also said to be interested in signing Che Adams and offered him a contract after he left Southampton, but he opted to join Torino on a free transfer. Conway has been on Wolves' radar and with the possibility of getting him for a small fee, they might not want to pass up on the opportunity.
