New players will arrive - Mullen

Mullen is confident of bringing in new players

Walsall manager Jimmy Mullen said he hopes the club's fans will be patient while he tries to bring in new players.

Mullen told BBC WM: "There's players out there which I'm very keen on and very interested in and actually in talks with at the moment."

"What people tend to forget is that those players have a choice as well.

"They haven't just got Jimmy Mullen and Walsall in mind, they've got other people in mind as well, it's a case of being patient."

Walsall released 11 players at the end of last season, leaving Mullen with only a handful of players with any significant first-team experience.

And he is hoping that when most footballers' contracts end on 30 June they will start deciding on their future.

He added: "Sometimes a little bit of patience is needed.

"You want to get your squad built up to the numbers that you want but sometimes you've got to be a little bit patient and wait that little bit longer to hopefully get the right players."
