Shayne Lavery linked with Blackpool exit with Championship rival chasing transfer

Blackpool striker Shayne Lavery has been linked with a move to Millwall.

The Seasiders forward has started the opening two matches of the Championship season on the bench. It's understood that Blackpool are open to allowing Lavery to leave this window although it's unclear if that would be on loan or permanent at this stage.

Lavery hit 10 goals in all competitions for Neil Critchley's side last season after a strong start to the campaign but his goals dried up at the end of the campaign. He has one year left on his deal but the club hold a one-year option.

Football Insider claim that Millwall want to sign Lavery and are in advanced talks to do so. The Lions have already signed Benik Afobe, Zian Flemming and George Honeyman to strengthen their attacking options but want more depth.

The report states that the arrival of Wolves loanee Theo Corbeanu has restricted Lavery’s opportunities and he now looks set to move to another second-tier side. Lavery is also competing with Gary Madine, Jake Beesley and Jerry Yates for the central striking role, although the latter has featured from the left-hand side this term.
