Recently relegated Sky Bet Championship side Newcastle United have emerged as the latest side said to be tracking Walsall left-back Rico Henry, as manager Rafa Benítez looks to strengthen his squad ahead of the upcoming campaign.
19-year-old, Birmingham-born Henry, who was already believed to be interesting the likes of Burnley, Leeds United, Leicester City, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United, has made fifty-four first-team appearances since he graduated from the Saddlers' youth system in 2014, and has also made his England Under 19s debut as an increasing number of clubs continue to keep tabs on his progress.
Following a summer which has seen the vast majority of the Saddlers' Play-Off reaching squad depart, the club will no-doubt be desperate to keep hold of one of their brightest prospects as they look to improve on last season's finish.
