Bristol City splash £5m on striker

Championship club Bristol City have smashed their transfer record to sign Senegal striker Famara Diedhiou.

The Robins have splashed out £5.3million to land the 24-year-old from French Ligue 1 side Angers, on a four-year deal

“He’s going to be a huge player for us,” enthused head coach Lee Johnson. “He’s powerful, he’s quick. Now is his time to shine.”

City’s previous record buy was also from Angers, when Jonathan Kodjia, now at Aston Villa, joined for £3.25million.

Diedhiou managed nine goals in 36 appearances last season, following 22 in 37 in the second tier for Clermont in 2015-16.

Reading have paid an undisclosed fee to snap up Ajax midfielder Pelle Clement on a three-year deal.

Royals boss Jaap Stam said of his fellow Dutchman: “He is a young, very promising player.”

Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy has hailed the capture of Wales midfielder Emyr Huws from Cardiff City on a four-year deal.

He impressed on loan last term and ex-Sunderland boss McCarthy said: “Emyr was arguably our best player along with Tom Lawrence and he certainly made us a better team.”

Burton Albion manager Nigel Clough has swooped to sign former Derby and Wigan centre-back Jake Buxton for the third time.

Clough said: “He’s a very good, experienced defender. He knows the challenges we face at the club the size of Burton.”
