Following the news that young Arsenal defender Krystian Bielik had joined the club on loan for the remainder of the season, Walsall manager Jon Whitney has spoken to club journalists and welcomed the 20-year-old to Banks's Stadium.
Jon, who was speaking via the club's official website - Saddlers.co.uk, said; "Krystian is a very technical, ball-playing centre-half and he’s had a good loan spell with Birmingham last season, so he’s got a Midlands connection.
"He was really good for them but he’s had a shoulder injury in the last few months. I’ve been chasing him for about two or three weeks now, and we’ve persuaded him to come here ahead of other League One clubs and some abroad, too. We’d like to thank Arsenal and Arsene Wenger for allowing him to come to us."
