Shrewsbury Town manager Paul Hurst has become the latest manager to express and interest in Walsall attacker Erhun Oztumer, as the 26-year-old continues to attract attention from clubs up and down the country.
Hurst, who was speaking ahead of the Salopian's League One clash with Doncaster Rovers, admitted that he was interested in Oztumer and has scouted him in the past but wouldn't be making a move during the January Transfer Window as he has other targets in mind.

Despite the recent level of interest in his services, Erhun, who has so far rejected three Saddlers contract offers, could still remain at the Banks's for the remainder of the season before either departing for pastures new or signing a new deal.
The former Peterborough United midfielder is out of contract at the end of June and has recently expressed his desire to keep his options open as several clubs, including Blackburn Rovers and Rotherham United, continue to be linked with a move.
