Whitney told Saddlers TV that he’d been tracking Roberts for some time: “He’s been one of our key targets through the whole of the summer but because he’s done so well West Brom have kept him in their first team.

“He’s proven he can score goals at this level and I feel, when we targeted and profiled him, we really think he can tie in to what we do and we can improve together. He’ll be a very important member of our squad and he’s a tremendous prospect.”

Roberts said: “I feel confident coming in to the club and hopefully I can improve on last season and get more goals.

“I spoke to the gaffer and he said obviously there’s things I can improve and things I’m good at. We-re going to get down to work on them – this is a good opportunity to do that.”
