Albion goalkeeper Christian Walton is closing in on a loan move to League One new boys Bury.

The 19-year-old is expected to head to Gigg Lane in the quest for first-team experience, although the deal has not yet been finalised.

The Argus understands an agreement for his loan move to the Shakers is close to completion.

Bury need a first choice goalkeeper and were also interested in Nick Pope at Charlton. Chris Kirkland has been training with Bury of late.
