An exciting prospect - who is Walsall long-time loan target Aaron Loupalo-Bi
Walsall are set to land Fulham under-21s striker Aaron Loupalo-Bi on loan until the end of the season - according to reports.
The 20-year-old is set to become the second addition of the January transfer window, with Mat Sadler hinting at the possibility of one more signing before Saturday's lunch-time trip to Tranmere Rovers.
According to a report by journalist Peter O'Rourke, Walsall have won the race for his signature amid interest from a number of EFL clubs.
With the announcement that top scorer Daniel Kanu will remain on loan for the rest of the season, Sadler is looking to bolster his attacking ranks for a crucial second half of the season.
Here is everything you need to know about the Saddlers' latest target on the loan market.
Fulham roots
Joining Fulham at under-nine level, Loupalo-Bi became the most prolific under-18s striker in the country during the 2022-23 campaign.
In total, he scored 25 goals in all competitions - including 18 in the league - which saw him claim the Golden Boot.
Recognition on the international stage followed as Loupalo-Bi collected all three of his England under-18 caps in June 2023.
