Emmanuel Adegboyega: Walsall sign Norwich City defender on loan

Walsall have signed Norwich City defender Emmanuel Adegboyega on loan for the rest of the season.

Adegboyega, 20, joined the Canaries last summer from League of Ireland side Drogheda United on a "long-term" deal.

He is eligible to play in Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie at Southampton.

"We're really pleased to have Emmanuel in the building. Manny is one we looked to sign at the start of the season, before he made his move to Norwich," said Saddlers boss Mat Sadler.

"He brings competition for places in a backline that is doing really well at the moment, but Manny will bring different skills and different abilities to that department.
