Albion marksman Leo Ulloa has been hailed as one of the best strikers in the Championship by team-mate Andrew Crofts.

Ulloa returns from a three-match suspension to spearhead the Seagulls’ attack against Sheffield Wednesday at The Amex tonight.

The Argentinian target man has already bagged four goals this season and Crofts rates him among the best in the division with the likes of eight-goal leading scorers Jordan Rhodes and James Vaughan.

Wales international Crofts told The Argus: “He’s definitely up there with the best, without a doubt. I think he is proving that.

“There are a few good strikers now that are on top of their game, scoring a lot of goals, so there’s a good breed of strikers in the Championship. Leo is definitely up there with the best of them. I rate him really highly. I think he’s a top player."
