Bristol City won’t have to pay any compensation for the free transfer of Haydon Roberts, Bristol Live understands, with the Brighton & Hove Albion defender set to become the Robins’ third addition of the summer window. Roberts has agreed personal terms on a move to Ashton Gate amid intense interest across the Championship and from League One Derby County, where he spent the 2022/23 campaign on loan, as his deal with the Seagulls expires at the end of the month. That chimed with the defender's desire to secure a move as early in the summer as possible. It will be interesting to see how Pearson uses Roberts with Jay Dasilva departing on a free transfer to Coventry City and City’s intended move for Joe Bryan collapsing, leaving Cam Pring as their only recognised left-back.
