Brazilian Bernardo also filled in when required while Solly March and even Steven Alzate were used at left wing back when Potter went with three at the back. The fact Henry, 23, is equally comfortable as a left wing back as he is at left back is a crucial factor in Brighton's pursuit of the former Walsall man. Albion are not alone in the race to sign Henry with Aston Villa and Leeds also said to be keeping a very close eye on developments. Villa boss Dean Smith managed Henry during his spell in charge at Brentford. He signed for Brentford from Walsall in 2016 for £1.6m and Bees boss Thomas Frank is keen to keep hold of his key man.
