The Saddlers travel to take on Rochdale today as they look to continue their unbeaten start to the new campaign.

But despite some outstanding performances, the squad is still light on numbers – with a centre-back to provide competition for Jon Guthrie and Jack Fitzwater the number one priority.

And Keates revealed he is in talks with one player who he believes has the right character to step into a changing room full of confidence.

“There will be additions to the squad,” the boss said.

“We have got a week. I’m in conversation with one and I’m hopeful that this weekend, or early next week, he’ll be one that we bring in.
