Robins has targeted automatic promotion for the Millers this season

Rotherham United manager Mark Robins is holding talks with a mystery player that he hopes to add to his squad soon.

Robins has just splashed out a record-equalling £150,000 on Crewe striker Tom Pope, after bringing in Chester City's Kevin Ellison.

"I am in dialogue with one player and hopefully we can do something soon," Robins told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"There are a couple of areas that I'm looking at strengthening and there may also be one or two going."

Robins is delighted with the business he has done so far, particularly the capture of Pope.

He said: "It's good business for us. At 23 there's improvement in him, he can score goals and was top scorer at Crewe this season.

"He will give us a strength that we have lacked.

"It's a lot of money in this climate, but we have done our sums, we're working to a budget and he fits in."
