England winger set for Italy switch !

Wolverhapton Wanderers winger, Michael Kightly could be set for a move to Serie A side Torino in the January transfer window according to reports in the Daily Mirror today.

Kightly, 21, signed for Wolves in only January of this year after making his loan move from Grays Athletic permanent. The winger quickly became a crowd favourite and at the end of his opening season at the club he was voted Runner up in the Fans' Player of the Year award.

Since joining, Kightly has scored 9 times in his 35 appearances for the club as well as making a breakthrough into the England U 21 setup.

Despite being contracted at the club until June 2009 it is thought that Italian side Torino will make a bid for the midfielder this coming January. It is likely that the Serie A side will offer about £4 million for the Wolves star.
