Millwall may well be watching developments at Elland Road with interest this weekend as Charlie Cresswell’s immediate role at Leeds United becomes apparent. The defender spent the entirety of the 2022-23 campaign on loan with Championship outfit Millwall and he caught the eye with his form there.
Cresswell made 30 appearances for the south London club in all competitions, scoring five goals along the way, as he established himself as a favourite at The Den. His form helped the club to within touching distance of the play-offs, but Gary Rowett’s side just fell short of the top six in the end, with a defeat to Blackburn Rovers on the final day ruling out the possibility of playing Premier League football next term.
The Leeds loanee wasn’t involved in that one due to a facial injury and he has since returned to West Yorkshire and his parent club ahead of what promises to be a pivotal summer, with his future potentially hinging on this weekend’s game. Should Leeds beat Tottenham Hotspur and secure top flight survival, the club may be open to the idea of allowing him to leave, either on loan again or permanently.
