Bristol City boss Lee Johnson has revealed Filip Benkovic's dream of being a striker - but admits he might get an angry phone call from Brendan Rodgers.
The former Celtic loanee joined the Championship club on loan on deadline day and grabbed a goal in the 3-2 win over Derby County.
Johnson admits he is already planning on throwing the big defender up front if he's needed before the end of the season.
But the former Kilmarnock midfielder admits that could draw a response from Rodgers if the Leicester boss is left baffled by how City are using his player.
He said: "In the Championship you want to make sure every box is ticked.
"You want all the clubs in the bag - probably the only club we haven't got in the bag is that 6ft 6in striker, but funnily enough, Benkovic was a striker until he was 16.
"He said to me that all he ever wanted to be was a striker, so I said that was handy, did he mind going up there in the last 10 minutes? He'll be well happy with that goal.
“I might have (Leicester boss) Brendan Rodgers on the phone asking me what I'm doing when I'm playing him up front."
