As Walsall manager Jon Whitney seeks to bolster his attacking line-up, the Saddlers are believed to be facing competition for Huddersfield Town striker Jordy Hiwula, with League One rivals Bradford City also keen to secure the youngster's signature.
21-year-old, Manchester born Hiwula, who enjoyed a second successful loan spell at the Banks's Stadium last season, joined the Terriers on a three-year deal from Manchester City last summer, but failed to make an impact as he was loaned out to Wigan Athletic and the Saddlers where he gained some first-team football.
"Jordy I would love to get back in. He might be beyond our remit. But I have expressed my interest and called Jordy two or three times. It has been very open and honest. I like him as a kid. I think that me and my coaching staff can develop him as a player and I think we can take him to another level. Whether that is realistic or viable is up to them but I see Jordy as part of Walsall Football Club."

As seen above, Jon Whitney has already stated his desire to add Jordy to his squad, and with a recently boosted transfer fund following Thursday's disappointing departure of Welsh international striker Tom Bradshaw to Barnsley, could make a move in the very near future.
