Walsall boss Colin Lee hopes to keep star striker Junior past the transfer window in January. Junior has performed miracles at Walsall since his loan switch from Brazilian side Trezze , he has scored nine goals for the Saddlers this season and has contributed to many more.

Colin Lee is confident that Junior will extend his loan spell at Bescot , unless there is a big bid that Trezze can't turn down.

Junior's loan deal ends on Jan 18th but the Brazilian star has expressed he loves Walsall the fans and the area.

Speaking about the Junior situation Colin Lee said "We will be sitting down with Junior and his agent in the next couple of weeks," he said.

"Unless someone comes up with a huge bid when the transfer window opens - which we would be forced to accept - we hope to come up with a deal to keep him here until the end of the season."added lee
