Millwall have an option to buy in the loan deal that has seen Leeds United midfielder Jamie Shackleton join them for the 2022/23 Championship season, according to London News Online. Shackleton became the Lions’ fifth signing of the summer window, and their second from Leeds following Charlie Cresswell’s move, when he was announced earlier this month.
The 22-year-old gives Gary Rowett some added depth in central midfield and it seems his move could be made permanent next summer should he prove a success.
London News Online has reported that Millwall have structured the loan deal from Leeds to include an option to buy Shackleton at the end of the season.
The Lions have been burnt in the past by not agreeing such clauses and seeing impressive loan signings join other Championship clubs – as was the case with both Jayson Molumby and Dan Ballard.
