Sky Sports News are claiming the Rams, Blackburn Rovers and Queens Park Rangers are all keen on the Bristol City keeper.

The 29-year-old, who was born in Bath and came through the Robins' youth setup, has lost his place in the starting lineup to Manchester United loanee Radek Vitek.

That comes after he played every game of the last two Championship seasons until he had surgery on an ankle injury that kept him out of the side at the start of this campaign.

As a result, Vitek had played every minute of the current season until a knee injury opened the door for O'Leary over the festive period.

The Republic of Ireland international kept two clean sheets in his five games but Vitek is expected to resume in goal this weekend.
