Fryatt and Bennett departing

Reports tonight, confirmed by Saddlers boss Paul Merson, indicate that striker Matt Fryatt and defender Julian Bennett will be leaving Bescot on Monday for Leicester City and Nottingham Forest respectively.

Exactly how much money will change hands is the subject of differing speculation, with reports indicating Leicester’s offer is worth in the region of £400,000 spread over several payments.

A Merson move for ex-Blues striker Paul Devlin has apparently fallen through.
