Millwall want to sign Elliot Anderson for next season with the Lions emerging as the front-runners for the teenager, should Newcastle United allow one of their best prospects to leave on loan.
Anderson is preparing to start pre-season with his parent club at the end of month after a brilliant five months at Bristol Rovers in which he was an influential force behind their promotion into League One.
Despite having never played senior football before, the 19-year-old made a seamless transition into life in League Two with Rovers, scoring seven goals and adding six assists in 21 games, including the promotion-clinching seventh against Scunthorpe United on the final day of the season.
