Injury to West Ham United-owned Sam Byram has reportedly made Nottingham Forest look at FC Porto defender Saidy Janko.
It has been reported that it is unclear for how long Byram – signed on a season-long loan deal by Forest from West Ham United in the summer transfer window – will be on the sidelines due to the knee injury he suffered on Wednesday.
Forest are reportedly looking for cover and have identified the 22-year-old FC Porto right-back as a replacement.
Good signing for Nottingham Forest?
Janko failed to make a huge impact at United and the Swiss defender also struggled to do much of note at Celtic, but the 22-year-old – who can also operate as a right-winger – is a very good and promising young player.
The former Switzerland Under-21 international right-back moved to FC Porto only in the summer transfer window, but The Nottingham Post has claimed that the youngster may be available on loan.
It would not be a bad idea for Forest to sign the former Celtic right-back on loan until January.
