Last updated : 10 November 2005 By Andy Van Hagen
Various press articles today link Walsall with a loan move for Preston midfielder Eric Skora. The midfielder was signed by Everton boss David Moyes from French club Nancy. If successful in signing Skora he will go straight into the team against Gillingham on Saturday.

Skora is a 23 year old Frenchman who joined Preston in 2001. m he spent last season on loan at Kilmarnock in the SPL for whom he played for 18 times scoring 3 goals. However in over 40 games in the Nationwide league he has yet to score as his 2 goals in England have come in the League Cup and FA cup.

The midfielder was highly rated in France before moving to England and was once described as 'The new Michel Platini'. Ok that he certainly is not but if he can reproduce the form that got him those reviews in France we may have a good loan signing.
