Walsall Interim Head Coach Jon Whitney has spoken to the press following the loan arrival of Everton defender Matthew Pennington, and has welcomed the youngster to the club.

Speaking via the Express & Star, Jon said; “I know a lot about him and I remember watching him when he played against us for Tranmere. He’s always someone who Everton have thought highly of. It’ll be his third loan and we’ve done a lot of profiling on him.

“I’ve got friends at Everton who know him and he comes really highly recommended. We’ve fought off quite a few clubs to get him which is great for us. The position we’re in has enabled us to get a player of his calibre. He’ll bolster our defence and gives us a bit more reassurance going into this nine-game run.”
