League Two promotion contenders Walsall sign Fulham forward Aaron Loupalo-Bi on loan for the rest of the season.
Walsall have signed Fulham forward Aaron Loupalo-Bi on loan for the rest of the League Two season.
The 20-year-old has not played for the Cottagers' first team but has scored two goals in nine appearances for their under-21 side in the EFL Trophy, including three this season.
He spent the second half of last season on loan in the National League with Dagenham & Redbridge, where he scored once in 20 matches.
"I'm excited and ready to go," Loupalo-Bi said.
"The team are going well and pushing for promotion so it's a new challenge for me in that aspect and one that I'm ready to tackle and step up to."
Walsall head coach Mat Sadler said he was "pleased" to have Loupalo-Bi at the club and that Fulham "have trusted us to look after him".
Sadler added: "He's had a fantastic first half of the season, top scorer in Premier League 2 and he's a physical, hard-working centre-forward who likes to stretch but can also link up and bring others into play.
Loupalo-Bi is Walsall's second signing of the transfer window following the permanent move of attacking midfielder Alex Pattison from Bradford City.
