Bristol City have enjoyed a whirlwind of a campaign, with league and Cup runs bringing the good times back to Ashton Gate.

Manager Lee Johnson almost lost his job last season as his Robins side struggled towards the football of the table, but the board retained faith in the young boss' ability, reaping the rewards as a play-off spot appears in reach in the closing weeks.

Outside the top-six on goal difference alone, the belief that the West Country side could experience their first taste of Premier League football is growing, but Johnson will put the ice on any celebrations until his side's season officially comes to a close.

Changes will be made in the summer whatever level Johnson finds his side at, with many expected to be moved on in order to bring in the faces for future improvement.

However, this trio could be sanctioned loan deals rather than leaving on a permanent basis...

The youngster spent the first half of the campaign on loan at Birmingham City from boyhood club Everton, but with appearances hard to come by at St Andrew's and no future with the Toffees, Johnson swooped in January to convince the player to commit terms to the Robins.

Given their success so far, the 20-year-old has struggled to fully establish himself at Ashton Gate, but his time will undoubtedly arrive in the coming years.

Next semester may not be his breakout campaign, so a loan move to a side lower down the division or at the top of League One could allow the player to realise his potential.

The Swede is another who is not quite ready to become the player Johnson hopes him to be, but is without a doubt blessed with the ability and potential to become a regular in the near future.

Just a couple of substitute appearances to his name so far, Engvall has enjoyed loan spells away from the club since joining in 2016, but he needs a switch within these shores in order to be allowed the time to adapt to the demands of the game in this country.

Three previous loan deals have seen him return to Sweden but the youngster will never grow if the Allsvenskan beckons once again.

It's clear that Johnson is a big fan of the Swedish leagues having picked up Elliason last summer, with the Scandinavian nationa proving a fruitful recruitment ground for the manager.

Elliason did enough in the Swedish top flight to earn caps at multiple youth levels suggesting he is indeed highly rated in his home country, and Johnson needs to discover the formula that will see the 22-year-old one day break into the first-team international set-up.

Just like compatriot Engvall the ability is there, but Elliason needs regular action within England.

League One beckons for the youngster, who may draw inspiration from Leeds United forward and fellow Swede Mikael Antonsson, who has been in electric form with Blackburn Rovers in the division, perhaps forging a future for himself at Elland Road in the process.

Robins fans, thoughts?
