Leeds United midfielder Jamie Shackleton is reportedly set to join up with Charlie Cresswell and sign a season-long-loan deal with Millwall. That is according to Football Insider, who claim that an agreement has been struck between the two clubs and the finishing touches are now being put on the deal.
Cresswell completed his move to the Lions on Monday and is set to be joined by his fellow Leeds academy graduate at the Den, despite having been linked strongly with Reading. Shackleton featured in last night’s 4-0 friendly win over Blackpool but has now been given the green light to complete his loan switch after finding regular game time hard to come by in the last two seasons.
He made 14 Premier League appearances for the Whites last term, with only seven of those from the start and the last of them coming in December, when he limped out of the 7-0 defeat at Manchester City. Shackleton played just 22 minutes of first team action following the arrival of Jesse Marsch as manager and spent much of the season playing second fiddle to Luke Ayling at right back.
