The 19-year-old has been the subject of interest from a host of clubs in the Premier League and Championship but now looks set for a reunion with former boss Dean Smith at Griffin Park.

Should the move go through, Henry's departure will be met with substantial disappointment from Saddlers fans who has already seen a host of their star players exit the club this summer.

Tom Bradshaw, Jason Demetriou and Romaine Sawyers all moved on after Walsall missed out on promotion last year – with the latter also opting to rejoin Smith in West London.

Tonight Walsall host Grimsby in the Checkatrade Trophy.
