Walsall manager Dean Smith has spoken to the press ahead of tomorrow's Sky Bet League 1 trip to Sheffield United, and has confirmed the club are in advanced talks with Leicester City over an extension to the loan agreement of midfielder Michael Cain.
20-year-old, Luton born Cain joined Walsall in early October, and after spending a period of time training with the squad, he agreed to a one month loan deal on 20th October.
He went on to put in several solid performances, which convinced Saddlers' boss Dean Smith to extend the deal for another thirty-days November.
Michael has continued to impress whilst at the club, and has done more than enough to force Smith to seek a further extension to his loan period.
Speaking to the Express & Star, Smith said; "We are in advanced talks about keeping him for an extra month and, hopefully, that can be done before the weekend.
“His loan is up after the game at Sheffield United and Leicester were keen to get it done, so it is just a case of getting the paperwork sorted. He has done really well.
"Michael has been an important cog for us over the last two months.”
