WANDERERS are closing in on the signing of Italian full-back Francesco Pisano.
It is understood that the club is currently in talks with the 29-year-old, who played in Serie A for Cagliari last season but is now available on a free transfer.
Neil Lennon is expected to sign one right-back in Lawrie Wilson over the next few days – but like the former Charlton man, Pisano is comfortable pushing forward as a wing-back, or into midfield.
A former Italy Under-21 international, Pisano has spent his entire career in Sardinia, making more than 250 appearances in all competitions and more than 200 in the Italian top flight.
Stories in the Italian press have linked Wanderers with a deal for ex-Parma striker Massimo Coda but The Bolton News understands he is not currently being considered by the club.
