Walsall Head Coach Matthew Taylor has urged winger Otis Khan to earn an extended stay, as the former Mansfield Town and Tranmere Rovers man is nearing the end of his current short-term deal.
Khan, who netted two goals and assisted Jack Earing in Saturday's three-nil triumph over Colchester United, joined the club on in October, penning a deal until January 2022, and is yet to agree terms on an extension.
Speaking via the Express & Star, Matthew said; "At the moment, Otis is on a short-term contract. It runs out in January, and Otis has got from now until then to continue to produce performances.

When pressed as to whether he believes Otis will remain at the club beyond the end of his current deal, Taylor added; "Do I know whether he’ll stay in January?
