The Excuse and Dingle is reporting this morning that Anthony Gerrard is attracting transfer interest from several clubs.

Walsall’s player of the season is, according to the paper, is being courted by Wolves, Sjoke City and, shock horror, Coventry City.

There are, in addition, rumours on the message boards that the player has also been watched for some time by two unnamed London clubs.

This may well turn out to be a test of Jeff Bonser’s mettle (or his true regards for the club), as any transfer involving the popular Scouse centre half would be seen as a betrayal by many fans, especially in the wake of the Scott Dann episode.
