Walsall hoping for new Jordy Hiwula loan
Walsall boss Dean Smith wants to bring Jordy Hiwula back to the club but believes any deal will have to wait until later in the summer.
The talented winger impressed during a three-month stay at the Banks's last season, scoring nine goals in 17 appearances during a loan switch from Manchester City.
The 20-year-old is expected to leave the Etihad on a temporary basis again this summer, but Smith believes City boss Manuel Pellegrini will want to take a closer look at him during their pre-season preparations."I would like to bring Jordy back, he did really well for us and he is a smashing kid as well," Smith said.
"But he is a Manchester City player so they will have to decide what they want to do with him. They'll have a look at him over pre-season but he certainly ticked all the boxes for us in terms of character, type of player and mentality."
Meanwhile, Smith has played down speculation linking him with a move for former Saddlers favourite Milan Lalkovi?. The creative schemer, under contract at Barnsley, impressed during a loan spell at the Banks's in the 2013/14 campaign.
