Millwall came so close to a play-off berth in the Championship last season, only for the Lions to fall away and finish in ninth place. Now, Gary Rowett wants to ensure that his side can continue to compete throughout the entirety of the second tier campaign and that means some fresh faces being brought in this summer.
Speaking to London News Online before the new season too, he has admitted that a player or two could end up being signed before the new campaign begins.
Millwall have signed a total of five players already but it does appear that more will be arriving at the Den soon. Zian Flemming sealed a deal for a seven-figure fee that caught the eye and Benik Afobe has also rejoined the club on a permanent basis to name just two.
Even with the new faces that are in the door though at the club, Rowett still wants some more signings though. He’ll be keen to ensure that the play-offs are a realistic possibility for the Lions and if that means bulking up his squad and ensuring they have plenty of squad depth, then that is what he seems set to do.
