Walsall duo Matty Fryatt and Julian Bennett will both complete their moves on Tuesday.

The pair are bound for the East Midlands, with Fryatt heading to Leicester in a £750,000 deal and Bennett moving to Nottingham Forest for £250,000.

England youth international Fryatt is touted as one of the best prospects outside The Premiership and Foxes boss Craig Levein has beaten off interest from a variety of other clubs to land the 19-year-old.

Bennett, meanwhile, will be unveiled at the City Ground after agreeing terms with Forest boss Gary Megson.

With money to spend, Saddlers manager Paul Merson is now expected to dip into the transfer market in order to secure replacements.
