Alfie Chang has moved to Walsall from Birmingham City on a permanent basis. Chang, who was at Walsall for the second half of the previous season, said that it was a pleasure to be back. He stated that he had positive conversations with the manager and knew earlier in the window of the manager's desire for him to return. Chang added that the manager has shown significant faith and interest in him as a player and as a person, for which he is grateful, and said there had been interest for some time and that he is pleased it is all resolved. Head coach Mat Sadler said he is delighted to have acquired Alfie Chang again.

According to Pete O’Rourke, Birmingham City midfielder Alfie Chang is set to return to Walsall on loan for the remainder of the season. The 23-year-old spent the first half of the campaign on loan at Bristol Rovers before being removed by new manager Steve Evans as part of a number of player departures in January. This is a return to Walsall for Chang, who also spent the second half of last season there on loan, making eight appearances. The player's contract at St. Andrew’s ends in the summer, and the move is considered important for his future. He will reunite with Kacper Lopata, who he played alongside at Bristol Rovers.
