Bristol City sign Championship player of the month

Bristol City have confirmed the arrival of Nahki Wells from Burnley. 

The striker was recalled by the Clarets earlier this month, which was a blow for QPR given his good goalscoring form in 2020. 

Indeed, Wells has scored six and provided one assist across four competitive outings for the west London side this month, helping return an average rating of 8.04, and QPR are now looking to sign a new striker before the Friday deadline. 

"City have signed striker Nahki Wells from Premier League side Burnley for an undisclosed fee," a statement read on the club's official website. 

"Bermuda international forward Wells, 29, joins the Robins on a three-and-a-half year contract, having spent the last season-and-a-half on loan at QPR. 

"Wells was the R’s top goalscorer this season with 15 goals in all competitions; 13 in the Sky Bet Championship with an average of one league goal every other match." 

On his arrival at Ashton Gate, head coach Lee Johnson said: "Nahki is a player with so much talent and he is a proven goalscorer at this level. I have spoken before of our ability to create a lot of chances and I think Nahki will help us in terms of that clinical edge which we have needed at times. 

"I’m really looking forward to working with him and I think he will be a great fit in our squad, as we set our sights on a strong finish with 18 matches left."
