Walsall's Dean Keates hopeful of deadline day deals
Walsall boss Dean Keates is still hopeful of bolstering his squad before the transfer window for loan signings closes today.
The Saddlers boss held his pre-match press conference ahead of the Saddlers clash with Blackpool this morning.
And the boss revealed he is still working on bringing players ahead of today’s 5pm deadline – with a centre-back the number one priority.
“I have openly said I want to add another centre-half,” Keates said.
“I’d like to think there will be an addition there and maybe one or two elsewhere.
“It’s could go right to the wire. There is one I have been after for some weeks, one I have been chipping away at.
“If that doesn’t happen there are options to go elsewhere.
“Centre-back is the only position we haven’t got cover for. It’s something that needs addressing and something that will be addressed.”
