Walsall do not have to sell any of their prized assets during the transfer window, but chief executive Roy Whalley admits every player has a price.

Defender Anthony Gerrard remains on the transfer list and is the most likely to depart the Banks’s Stadium this month.

But  it has been confirmed the club are yet to receive any offers for 22-year-old Gerrard, who became a father last Sunday.

Whalley insists the club are under no pressure to sell the former Everton trainee or any other player to balance the books.

He said: “Some clubs need to sell to survive – look at West Ham – and fortunately because of the way this club is run we are not in that situation, but every player has a value.

“If an offer came in which matched or exceeded our valuation then we would look at it very, very seriously, but so would any side outside the top four.

“This month a lot of clubs need to sell players. It is a very difficult environment, financially, for all clubs. The opportunity to sell players in order to balance is very important.”
