Rumoured Sheffield Wednesday loan target Haydon Roberts was left on the bench for a much-changed Brighton team last weekend as Graham Potter’s men needed extra time to beat West Brom 2-1 in the FA Cup third round.

Former Wigan striker Grigg has scored six goals in 22 appearances for Rotherham, who were rocked by news of Freddie Ladapo’s transfer request last weekend, this season.
