Turkish giants Galatasaray are reportedly keen on reinforcing their defence in January and have identified Branislav Ivanovic as a perfect signing.

According to Turkish-football.com, a source close to Galatasaray admits Ivanovic has emerged as a key transfer target for the club.

Ivanovic hasn’t played for Chelsea since Chelsea’s defeat to Arsenal and the Serbian will be able to speak to Galatasaray in January because he will be out of contract in the summer.
