The Irons are this morning being reported as monitoring Sunderland centre-back Lamine Kone.
Kone, a £5million signing from French side Lorient 11 months ago, helped Sunderlad avoid relegation under Sam Allardyce last season, although he has yet to find the same form this campaign.
However, according to the Mirror there is interest in the 27 year old as the manager looks to reinforce his defence in the January wndow.
