One-time Lincoln City target Sinclair Armstrong is set to leave Bristol City for a fee thought to be just over the £2m mark.
Sinclair Armstrong was 19 when he was linked with a move to City. It was later confirmed he had been on a list of strikers we’d monitored, along with Mason Burstow and Luke Plange. We signed the latter, and Armstrong remained at Queens Park Rangers.
He played 41 times for them in the Championship and triggered an extra year on his deal in June 2024. A month later, he had a four-year deal, but not at Loftus Road: he moved to Bristol City for an undisclosed fee. After 83 appearances for them and seven goals, he is now a target for Turkish Süper Lig side Göztepe.
They’ve been tracking him for a year, and despite late summer interest in 2025, a move didn’t materialise. Reports now suggest he is in Turkey looking to finalise a deal with Göz Göz, who narrowly missed out on a European spot last season. They finished sixth in the top flight, missing out by just two points.
Armstrong is a one-time Ireland Under 21 international, and was linked with the Imps around the same time the likes of Sean Roughan were playing for their country. We’d also been linked with Adam Idah, and have since had success in the Irish market with Oisin Gallagher and Jack Moylan, both of whom have been in action for the country recently.
Bristol City are, of course, looking to set a new course under Michael Skubala, who left Sincil Bank this summer for Ashton Gate. Skubala also has to discuss the futures of a handful of players, who were told negotiations would only take place after the Robins appointed a new boss. Those players are Harry Cornick, Sam Morsy, Mark Sykes and Sam Bell.
Bell is known to City fans, as he spent the first half of the season on loan with Wycombe, scoring a first-half brace against us in the final league defeat of Skubala’s City tenure.
