Villa ‘prepared to agree deal’ to sign Janko

According to Pete O’Rourke of the Football Insider, Aston Villa are ‘prepared to agree a deal’ with FC Porto to sign right-back Saidy Janko. They have stiff competition to procure his signature, however with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Fulham also reportedly keen on bringing him back to England.

The 23-year-old’s career started with Swiss outfit FC Zurich before he joined Manchester United as a youth player. He struggled for playing time with the Red Devils and was sent out on loan spells with Bolton Wanderers before joining Celtic on a permanent deal.
