Nathan Baker to make loan switch to Bristol City?

Aston Villa defender Nathan Baker has reportedly emerged as a loan target for Bristol City.

Earlier this summer, Baker penned a new long-term contract at Villa Park, but the 24-year-old could spend the 2015-16 campaign in the Championship.

According to BBC WM, Bristol City are favourites to sign Baker, although Burnley have also been linked with a move for the former England Under-21 international.

Baker is yet to feature in the Premier League this season, with his only appearance coming in the League Cup victory against Notts County.
