Walsall Manager Paul Merson says he is desperate to find a club interested in taking Scott Dann.

Merson says that the player shows a lot of promise and needs to go out on loan, if his development is not to be stunted, something the Manager feels happened last season. However, there are no offers for the youngster on the table as yet. The 6 foot 2 inch Liverpool born central defender is unlikely to get much first team action at the Saddlers this season, with no fewer than five centre backs ahead of him in the pecking order.

Merson says that he is surprised that clubs are not “knocking my door down” in their eagerness to take him on.
