19-year-old, Birmingham born Henry, who has made fifty-four first-team appearances since he graduated from the Saddlers' youth system in 2014, has been the subject of plenty of transfer speculation over the past year, with clubs such as Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur believed to be keeping tabs on his progress.

Leeds' current left-back Charlie Taylor is said to be on the radar of Burnley, Middlesbrough Newcastle United and West Bromwich Albion, with United Chairman Massimo Cellino recently hinting that he'd rather see Taylor run out his deal than allow him to depart after a year of attempting to start contract negotiations.

Rico, who joined the Saddlers from Cadbury Athletic at a very young age, is under contract until the summer of 2018, and will no-doubt continue to be linked with other clubs as he continues his footballing education in front of the Banks's Stadium faithful.
