Skysports.com understands Bolton defender Danny Shittu is hoping to find a new club before the close of the transfer window.
Shittu is keen to be playing regularly this season as he looks to safeguard his place in the Nigeria squad ahead of next summer's World Cup finals.
The signing of Zat Knight has pushed Shittu further down the pecking order at the Reebok Stadium and Trotters boss Gary Megson has admitted he is open to offers for the powerful defender.
Portsmouth are believed to be keen on signing the former QPR and Watford man, while Birmingham, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest have all been credited with an interest in the pacey central defender.
Why not? We could do worse, and adding him to the backline would be fantabbidoozey.
