Walsall Head Coach Michael Flynn has spoken to the local press and sought to praise Timmy Abraham, insisting the on-trial forward is a 'smashing kid'.
Abraham, a free agent after leaving Fulham at the end of last season, played for much of the Saddlers' pre-season defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon as he looks to earn a deal in WS1.
Despite adding a dozen players to the ranks over the course of the summer break, the Saddlers remain short of numbers in attack, something Timmy could help to fix should he pen a contract with the club.
Flynn, who managed Abraham during his time with Newport County, praised the forward for his pace, strength and desire, before admitting he has plenty of work to do if he is to make an impact.
Speaking via the Express & Star, Flynn said; "I know what he can bring as I've had Timmy before. He's a smashing kid.
"He has blistering pace. We've just got to work on him now, technically. It must be hard for Timmy as he's in the shadow of his brother, who's a fantastic footballer.
"He's going to want to try harder and harder. I've got nothing bad to say about Timmy as his attitude is spot on."
