Bristol City defender Aden Flint was a man in demand in the summer.

The powerful 28-year-old centre-back was courted by an array of Championship clubs, however the player ended up staying at Ashton Gate.

The former Swindon Town defender has been a key reason behind the Robins' fantastic star to the seasontt, and Lee Johnson will no doubt be wanting to keep the player in the upcoming January window.

Likely to attract interest again though, which Championship sides should make a move for Flint in January?

The writers here at FLW take a look....

George Dagless

Most sides in the league would want him.

Flint had plenty of interest in him during the summer and there's likely to be some in January too.

Bristol City will do their best to keep him, especially if they're in the top six still by then, but I think the likes of Wolves, Aston Villa and Sheffield Wednesday should look most closely.

Chris Gallagher

It looked like the big centre-back would be off in August, but how Bristol City are glad he's stayed.

The thing with Flint is his threat in the opposition box. Not only is he a dominant defender, but he scores loads of goals, so who wouldn't be interested?

Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday stand out as two bigger clubs who could do with more depth in the heart of their defence, but if the Robins maintain their levels at the top end of the table a move would be unlikely.

If I had to pick one team, I'd say Leeds need him the most.

Adam Simeoni

Fulham would be ideal.

The Cottagers could do with another central defender to compliment Tim Ream and Tomas Kalas, and Flint is the type of player the club should target if they are serious about promotion.

The massive defender has been the most consistent defender in the division for some time now, and his aerial threat and ability is unrivalled across the English game.

If Fulham can convince the Robins to part with the player, then they will have a real chance of the top six.

Alfie Burns

It is easy to see why so many clubs were sniffing around the Bristol City defender over the course of the summer, with Flint impressing since his reintroduction to first-team action.

For me, Aston Villa must look to sign him.

John Terry and James Chester have formed an excellent partnership at Villa Park, with Chris Samba providing able cover.

However, Terry and Samba are both coming towards the end of their respective careers, and Flint could be Chester’s new long-term partner at Villa Park
