Bristol (Bristol Express News) January 30, 2026 – Bristol City manager Gerhard Struber has issued a transfer update focusing on Tomi Horvat, Zak Vyner and Mayulu as the January 2026 window nears its close.
Struber addressed speculation surrounding these players while confirming recent activity, including the arrival of Delano Burgzorg on loan from Middlesbrough. The Robins have made several moves to bolster Gerhard Struber’s squad after missing promotion last season.
What are the latest transfer developments at Bristol City?
Bristol City have confirmed multiple ins and outs during the 2026 January transfer window. Incoming players include Sam Morsy on a free transfer, Ranel Young on a free and George Earthy on loan from West Ham United. Departures feature loans for Josh Stokes to Stockport County, Olly Thomas to Dunfermline and others, alongside permanent moves like Anis Mehmeti to Ipswich Town and Max O’Leary to West Bromwich Albion.
As reported by Sports Mole, Struber aims to add more faces, with potential funds boosted by a sell-on clause from Antoine Semenyo’s move. Rumours persist for incoming targets such as Finley Munroe from Aston Villa and Tomi Horvat from Sturm Graz.
Who is attracting interest among Bristol City’s key players?
Defender Zak Vyner is a focal point, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season, positioning him to become a free agent. The Robins hope to retain him amid reported interest from elsewhere.
What does this mean for squad stability?
Outgoing winger Yu Hirakawa’s loan to promotion rivals Hull City has sparked debate, with opinions suggesting Bristol City may regret the decision as he impresses at the MKM Stadium. Hirakawa, who joined permanently in 2024 after a loan spell, has limited stats of four goals and four assists in 66 games.
According to The72, Bristol City must replace Anis Mehmeti and reinforce before the window shuts on February 2.
What next for Struber’s transfer plans?
Struber’s update highlights ongoing pursuits like Tomi Horvat, while details on Mayulu remain unconfirmed in recent reports. The club eyes further incomings such as Delano Burgsorg, already secured on loan, to strengthen attacking options.
Bristol City continue navigating the window with a focus on net spend and promotion aspirations, as detailed by Sports Mole and official club channels.
