Paul Hurst interested in bringing West Bromwich Albion's Tyler Roberts back to Shrewsbury
Shrewsbury boss Paul Hurst has registered interest with West Bromwich Albion about bringing Tyler Roberts back on loan.
The attacking starlet shone in a loan spell at Shrewsbury in the second half of last season, playing a key part in helping the club remain in League One.
The 18-year-old is currently on loan at League One rivals Walsall until the end of January - while his Albion contract is up at the end of the season.
Hurst said: "He's the type of player I have on my radar, certainly. Tyler did extremely well for us last season.
"I think his loan is not up until the end of January. As much as I like him I'm not sure it's going to be a deal that can take place.
"We fully appreciate Tyler's qualities and ability. The situation has perhaps changed for him there. It's a new manager and I'm sure he'll want to have a look at Tyler first-hand.
"I'm sure something could happen further down the line but as I've mentioned in the past I'm not going to rule us out doing a deal on the final day, that would be foolish.
"I've had a conversation, yes."
The Welsh youth international netted four times in 12 games in a successful Town spell last season. He has bagged five goals for mid-table Walsall this term.
A host of clubs, including French side Marseille, are said to be keen in securing his long-term future beyond next summer.
