According to the Telegraph and South London Press, the Lions are preparing a move for Sibley.

Sibley is now said to be the Lions main target as Rowett looks to be reunited with his former player. During his time at Derby, the Lions boss oversaw the 20-year-old’s rise through the youth teams.
However, their initial bid for the midfielder was rejected. As the Rams are still under administration, a second offer could be imminent.
The attacking midfielder has plenty of Championship experience for his age. He made his first-team debut at just 18.
Although, in the last two Championship campaigns, he’s scored just twice. He’s yet to register a goal or an assist this season. His last appearance for Derby was against Millwall back in November.
Therefore, a move away from Pride Park could well be favoured by Sibley as he looks to reignite his career once again.
