The 22-year-old forward has scored three goals in 10 games for the League One club since joining in August 2020 – including a late winner against Walsall in the EFL Trophy in November.

The Frenchman has been capped by their under-20 and under-19 sides and had spells with both Toulouse and Brest.

Osei Yaw said: “I am very happy to join a project like Walsall's, a great club with a great history, looking forward to meeting my teammates and accomplishing the club's goals

“In this loan I hope to have time to play matches and help my teammates for our goals for the rest of the season.

“I am a speedy player who likes to score goals and technically I am quite comfortable too but most importantly, to be decisive for my team.”
