Sources: Millwall eyeing contract agreement with upcoming talent

Millwall are in talks with Billy Mitchell over a new deal as the Lions look to tie down one of their upcoming talents for the foreseeable future, Football League World has been told.

The Lions have got some fine young players coming through and Mitchell is certainly one of them, with him establishing himself as a real first-team squad member of late.

Indeed, Gary Rowett sees the youngster as a key man in his plans for the present and the future and, hence, Millwall want to get him on a new contract.

Mitchell is a local lad having joined the club as a youth player and he has worked his way up the ranks, meaning Lions fans have naturally taken to him since his emergence.

Indeed, he made his debut back during the 2018/19 season for the club and after a couple of years making a handful of appearances, he now firmly looks a part of the furniture within the Lions’ set-up.

He’s played over 20 times so far this season for the men from the New Den and will likely rack up plenty more, especially if this new contract does get signed in the near future.
