The Bristol City defender headed to London to finalise his move to the big time after Fulham agreed to pay £6million for him and offer superior personal terms.

Villa had previously agreed a deal worth £4m plus £2m in extras and The Robins were prepared to sell before the late drama.

Fulham want Bryan for a problem position and the chance to play in the top flight made it a no-brainer.

However, it is a massive loss for Bruce after teeing up the transfer.
