Several Championship and League One clubs are weighing up moves for Walsall defender Liam Kinsella, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.

Kinsella has been in fine form in recent weeks and his performances have brought him on the radar of a number of clubs higher up the football pyramid.

The 22-year-old enhanced his growing reputation with a superb winning goal in Walsall’s FA Cup replay win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Tuesday night.

Kinsella, who is the son of former Republic of Ireland international Mark Kinsella, has come through the ranks at Walsall and established himself as a key player in the side under Dean Keates.

The right-back, who can also play in defensive midfield as well as right wing, has made 17 appearances in all competitions for Walsall so far this season.

Kinsella is entering the final six months of his contract at Walsall and his suitors are ready to test their resolve to hang onto him with bids in the January transfer window.

Walsall will be reluctant to lose Kinsella as they look to keep hold of their best players as they aim to maintain their push for a play-off spot in League One.
