Walsall boss Richard Money has backed teenage winger Ishmel Demontagnac to make a serious impact on League One.

The 19-year-old wideman has missed the opening two games of the new season through suspension, but is back in the Saddlers squad for Saturday's trip to Leyton Orient.

"Everybody has seen what he is about in pre-season. It's taken us a while to get him to the level he is at now, but I think he is ready to become a real force," Money told the Express & Star.

"Whether that is on the left, up front or on the right remains to be seen but I believe he is capable of playing all three roles.

"I have to decide whether he starts on Saturday or whether we use him later on because we are away from home against a good team.

"But either way I believe he is now ready to become a force."
