<\/a><\/p>\nBristol City have signed defender Lisav Eissat on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance and visa approval.<\/p>\n
Able to operate as a centre-back and a left-back, the 21-year-old joins City on a deal until 2030.<\/p>\n
Eissat is City\u2019s fifth signing of the summer and boosts Michael Skubala\u2019s options in defence.<\/p>\n
On adding to the group ahead of City\u2019s training camp in Spain, First Team Manager Skubala said: \u201cIt is really pleasing to bolster our defence, especially with a player who can play more than one position.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis experience of English football will be good for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
The defender made his senior international debut for Romania in October 2025 and currently has four caps to his name.<\/p>\n
Eissat said on his first day at City: \u201cI am looking forward to it. I have followed the Championship and Premier League football a lot and I like the intensity and the style, which is like my playing style.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am an aggressive and fast defender and ready to jump in. I am ready to give everything for the club.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sporting Director James Ellis added: \u201cBringing\u00a0Lisav\u00a0to Bristol City is to help us improve squad depth, versatility, physicality and potential of the back line.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe felt in the squad build it was important we addressed the challenges the group had last year, especially with robustness and availability.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe management, coaching and\u00a0support\u00a0team are looking forward to working with him and hope the fans and community connect with him early on.\u201d<\/p>\n
