FLW look at five potential signings Millwall could make in January to bolster Gary Rowett’s ranks further.
Eight new players were added to the Millwall roster during the summer transfer window as Gary Rowett prepared to build on a successful campaign from the previous year.
The Lions have competed in the Championship for seven years in a row, placing in the top half in all but one of those campaigns. They were seventh in the second tier last season, just missing the playoffs on the final day of the regular season.
Just one point separated the South London team from the top six. Meanwhile, Millwall has been very active in the recruitment process as they try to add talent in order to support a promotion push this season and improve on what have been steady league performances under the long-serving Rowett.
Arsenal starlet Brooke Norton-Cuffy also provides energy in the wing-back slots while Hibernian forward Kevin Nisbet aims to aid on the goal-scoring front. The only non-domestic signing proved to be one of the more expensive deals as Casper De Norre hopes to prove to be an exciting option in the middle of the park.
A lot has changed in the last couple of decades for Millwall, but they are now a well-established Championship side, and the last time they played in League One was 2017.
Jesurun Rak-Sakyi
One player that will undoubtedly be on the radar for lots of Championship clubs is Crystal Palace winger Rak-Sakyi, who was fantastic whilst out on loan at Charlton Athletic last season. A move like this would be more conservative, money-wise because it would likely be another loan to keep him in London.
Emiliano Marcondes
Marcondes is out of favour with AFC Bournemouth and spent last season out on loan with Danish side FC Nordsjælland, but has performed well at second tier level for the Cherries and Brentford previously.
He can play in attacking-midfield, as a winger, or even as part of a front two in attack. The 28-year-old’s versatility makes him an intriguing player for many Championship sides, in spite of some consistency issues in the past.
Davis Keillor-Dunne
Queens Park Rangers, Millwall and Hull City are just three sides that have taken an interest in Mansfield Town’s attacking-midfielder, according to a summer report from TEAMtalk.
Despite only joining in January from Burton Albion, he has been scoring prolifically from midfield and could be on the move again by the time the next winter transfer window rolls around. His performances have been eye-catching in League Two and could see those sides revisit a deal for him.
Kieffer Moore
Most Millwall fans may remain somewhat concerned that Zian Flemming could be on the move again, and although Moore is not a like-for-like replacement, he would certainly help in terms of filling the void of scoring goals.
Moore is well known to EFL fans, with the 6’5” target man spending most of his career in the Football League, and he has also won over 30 caps for Wales. The 31-year-old has turned out for the likes of Barnsley, Wigan and Cardiff over the years, with his form for the Bluebirds earning him a move to Bournemouth, who he helped win promotion to the Premier League.
Jonson Clarke-Harris
Should a move for Moore fail to materialise, the Peterborough striker would be a solid alternative for the Lions. Clarke-Harris is a proven goalscorer in the EFL, and he would provide another solid, reliable goal threat to add competition for Kevin Nisbet and Tom Bradshaw.
