It’s said that Millwall defeated a signing this summer in the Premier League.
This summer, Millwall reportedly defeated Premier League opposition to sign one of their transfer objectives. The Lions’ season has started off frustratingly, as they have lost 3-2 and 4-3 thus far.
Even though there have been many good things, Neil Harris is worried about how many goals his team is giving up and their general incapacity to produce outcomes. However, there is always a procedure at the beginning of the season, and since the summer window is still open until the end of the month, recruitment is not yet complete.
While they continue to search for players who can contribute right away, Millwall is also considering investing in their future. In keeping with that, it is now expected that Celtic sensation Daniel Kelly will be signed, as recent rumors have it that the young player turned down a new contract from Celtic in order to sign with Millwall. Since then, Neil Harris has verified the agreement.
Kelly’s contract with Celtic expires at the end of December, therefore the transfer won’t go into effect until the beginning of January. With Kelly having already made four league appearances for Celtic at the age of 18, and one goal, the transaction, which will be a free transfer, appears to be a true steal for the Lions. Additionally, he has made six appearances for Scotland’s under-19 squad.
Strangely, according to Football Insider, Kelly turned down Spurs’ approaches to go with the Lions, and Millwall ended up signing him before Tottenham. Kelly appears to have prioritized playing time in his hunt for a new club after finding it difficult to get first team playing time with Celtic.
What Harris has expressed
The Millwall manager, Harris, stated during the week that Dan had consented to join the team. He has signed the agreement after it was reached. January is when he formally joins us. We believe this young athlete, who resembles Romain, Aidomo, and Alfie, has enormous potential.
“That football club is what the board wants us to be.” The goal of the football team is to develop and add younger players. Jimmy (Berylson) has asked me to give younger players more chances, just like I did with Fred, Aiden, and Ben Thompson last season. Alongside Jake Cooper, George Saville, and Jed Wallace. Our goal is to be the football team that develops players and provides them with opportunities. We as a football team can only advance and flourish by including younger players and strengthening the team.
“You will see more younger players enter the building, but the board and I also recognize that in order to have younger players, they must also have actual Millwall experience. I know this better than anyone else. That is a true sign of leadership and a credit to Millwall men. Now that we have some excellent Millwall players, it would be wise for us to bring in some younger guys. Kelly is a really skilled player. Dan won’t be someone that everyone should anticipate to join the team the moment he steps into the building.
Even though Alfie Massey is still very young, everyone should be encouraged by the fantastic performance he gave in his debut tonight. Dan is an energetic box-to-box midfielder who is most likely an old-fashioned eight. He enters the box and scores goals, much like a young George Saville did when he initially joined the football team. He plays with genuine aggression and desire.
