Sky Bet

Walsall have completed the signing of midfielder Florent Cuvelier on a one-month loan deal from Stoke.

The 19-year-old Belgian youth international arrived at the Britannia Stadium from Portsmouth in 2010 and will now look to help Dean Smith's side move away from the relegation places in League One.

Manager Smith told the club's website: "He's a lad that we have been aware of for some time.

"He's played against us a couple of times for Stoke reserves this season and did well on each occasion.

"I would describe him as a creative midfielder who gets on the ball and is technically very good."

Cuvelier is available to make his Saddlers debut on Tuesday when Walsall host Notts County.
