Reports: MK Dons close in on Walsall’s Paul Downing
MK Dons are hoping to finalise the signing of Walsall defender Paul Downing, according to reports.
The Express and Star claims the 24-year-old is close to joining the Dons after confirming his departure from the Saddlers this summer.
Karl Robinson has already lost a number of defenders including Jordan Spence, Antony Kay and Matty Upson, while Kyle McFadzean is reported to have handed in a transfer request.
This leaves the club a little light at the back so if Downing comes through the doors at stadiummk it would be a welcome boost.
The League One side have so far only brought in one new player for the upcoming season in the form of Millwall midfielder Ed Upson.
