Britt Assombalonga appears to be closing in on a move away from Middlesbrough, according to the Northern Echo.
The striker has just a few months remaining on his contract that according to reports it seems that Bristol City could be eyeing a £2million move for the 28-year-old.
Assombalonga has divided opinion among supporters at the Riverside Stadium, but is offloading the player the right decision?
The team at FLW have their say...

It's an interesting one this.
I feel the Robins already have a number of strikers who are more than capable of scoring goals at this level, with the likes of Nahki Wells, Famara Diedhiou and Chris Martin all knowing where the net is at this level.
So, the need for a new striker is not a must in my eyes for Dean Holden's side, however Assombalonga for a cut-price of £2m does represent a good deal.
The 28-year-old striker has struggled to emulate his previous consistent goalscoring form he showcased at Nottingham Forest/Peterborough, at Middlesbrough, but a fresh start could be just what Britt needs to rekindle it.
The Robins do create a lot of chances for their strikers with the creative talent that is behind their frontline, and you could see Assombalonga thriving here.
He's an instinctive striker who has good physical qualities that mean he is capable of handling the demands and rigours of the Sky Bet Championship.
With Diedhiou's future at Ashton Gate still up in the air, a move to bring in Britt does make sense should he depart.
