Football Vyner looks set to join Championship rivals Wrexham

Gerhard Struber admits he has “no influence” when it comes to Zak Vyner’s future, after the Bristol City defender was linked with a move to Wrexham following the Robins’ Championship defeat to Derby County.

The Robins missed the chance to cut the gap to the top six in dramatic fashion as they were thrashed 5-0 by the Rams at Ashton Gate on Friday evening. Goals from Rhian Brewster, Ben Brereton Diaz, Bobby Clark, Patrick Agyemang and Lars-Jorgen Salvesen saw John Eustace's side run riot in BS3.

Naturally, the result and performance left supporters deflated following the full-time whistle. Such a mood was only further emphasised by reports that quickly emerged surrounding the short-term future of injured defender Vyner, pictured.

Sky Sports reported in the moments that followed Friday' defeat that City’s Championship rivals Wrexham had agreed a deal to sign Vyner, whose contract is set to expire at the end of the season, with the 28-year-old reportedly having undergone a medical with Phil Parkinson’s side over the weekend.

“I have no further information,” the head coach told the Bristol Post when asked about the reports. “I don’t know what's going on around Zak Vyner. It's not in my hands, I have no influence in this direction.
