Walsall are leading the race to sign Bournemouth forward Jonny Stuttle on loan, sources have told Football Insider.
The 19-year-old has been given the green light by the Premier League club for a new loan after temporary spells at Aldershot and Farnborough last season.
Stuttle is a target for a host of League Two and National League sides in this summer’s transfer window.
League Two club Walsall are now hopeful of securing the player’s signature.
After scoring ten goals and providing two assists in 19 National League South games last season, there is a growing feeling that he is ready to make a step up.

The forward returned to MK Dons following the end of his short-term spell, and manager Mat Sadler is determined to add further quality to his squad in his place.
After a poor end to the season, having once amassed a 12-point advantage at the top of League Two before finishing fourth, they will be looking to earn promotion next season.
Walsall utilised loan deals to their advantage with nine players joining on temporary deals over the course of the season, and are prepared to do so again this summer.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, are keen for their 19-year-old academy prospect to gain playing experience in the EFL and Walsall is seen as an ideal destination.
