Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly identified Porto full-back Saidy Janko as a possible transfer target for the January window.

Janko is currently on a season-long loan from Porto at Championship outfit Nottingham Forest, where he has started five games and is yet to end up on the losing side.

The 23-year-old's performances are understood to have attracted the interest of a number of teams, and the Birmingham Mail claims that Wolves are among the clubs considering a move.

The report says that the newly-promoted Premier League side could look to agree a deal in the January window which would see Janko move to Molineux at the end of his loan spell with Forest next summer.

Janko began his professional career with Manchester United and has since represented Celtic and Saint-Etienne on a permanent basis, in addition to enjoying loan spells at Bolton Wanderers and Barnsley.

The likes of Fulham and Aston Villa are also thought to be monitoring the progress of the Switzerland Under-21 international, who could be available for as little as £2m.
