Millwall looks increasingly likely to be Charlie Cresswell’s temporary home for the coming season as Leeds United weigh up the offers on their table. The financial side of the London club’s approach has ticked boxes, while their on-pitch ambitions have encouraged too.
The England under-21 international is expected to leave Leeds behind for a year as he pursues the first-team minutes he’s more than ready for. Championship clubs have lined up for the centre-back, but Gary Rowett’s outfit continue to lead the pack.
With Robin Koch, Liam Cooper, Diego Llorente and Pascal Struijk all ahead of Cresswell in the pecking order at Thorp Arch, there is little sense in keeping him around for cup games and Premier League 2. At 19, he is ready to kick on.
