With Walsall's 2016/17 campaign now at an end Saddlers manager Jon Whitney has spoken to the local press and revealed that he has already held discussions with a number of potential signings.
Speaking via the Express & Star, Jon also revealed that he, John Ward and Neil Cutler will be taking in games as they seek out some new recruits, he said; “We have held positive talks with a number of players. Ideally we would like to get a couple in sooner rather than later. That’s what we’d like to do.
"It’s a busy time but we are being very proactive. I’m spending the weekend in Scotland taking in a number of games. John Ward and Neil Cutler are also attending games this weekend.
"It’s a great opportunity for us to spread out, take in some games and cast our eyes over a few players. It’s important with our season over that we use the opportunity to look at players in other leagues."
