Walsall are set to sign Barnsley midfielder Dale Tonge.

Tonge is set to link up with the League Two leaders this week ahead of a loan move to The Bescot Stadium

The 21-year-old has struggled to hold down a regular place in the Barnsley side this season and his last appearance came in December against Sheffield Wednesday.

Tonge is expected to feature for Walsall’s reserves this week before signing a loan deal.

Saddlers boss Richard Money is keen to bolster his squad as he looks to maintain their push for promotion.
