Walsall eye up Matt Gill

Walsall were today on red alert after target Matt Gill was released by Norwich.

The midfielder's Carrow Road exit was rubber stamped last night leaving him free to find a new club after two years with the Canaries.

Boss Dean Smith has confirmed his interest in Gill – along with Marco Gbarssin and Marc Laird, who both ended the season on loan at the Banks's Stadium from Carlisle and Millwall respectively.

Norwich boss Paul Lambert said: "Matt Gill is away and will be looking for a new club. Gilly was brilliant and was a top, top pro. He was brilliant for the club and it's a sore one when you tell him because he's the type of lad he is. He was a great professional, one of the best I've seen and that's the highest compliment I can give him. Those sorts of players are important to have around the place."
