Erhun Oztumer hints at summer exit from Walsall

Walsall playmaker Erhun Oztumer hints that he could leave the Saddlers for a bigger club at the end of the season.

Walsall midfielder Erhun Oztumer has hinted that he could leave the League One club in the summer.

Oztumer has spent the last two campaigns with the Saddlers, with the Turkish playmaker netting 29 goals in 78 appearances at the second tier.

The 26-year-old is out of contract during the summer and while Walsall are still trying to tempt Oztumer into a third season, it appears that the player is leaning towards an exit.

Oztumer told the Express & Star: "Every player wants to play higher, it's the ambition. Money doesn't motivate me. For me, it's playing at the highest ability, playing in front of bigger crowds and being the best you can be.

"In the summer, I'll sit down with my agent and see what the options are, but I am confident about the future."

Championship clubs are likely to make bids during the summer, while Oztumer could potentially attract interest from teams in Europe.
