Millwall Football Club is poised to sign Belgian midfielder Mathis Servais, with the 21-year-old set to undergo a medical ahead of a permanent move from KV Mechelen.

What's the deal?

The Lions have agreed a deal to sign Servais, although the reported fee of €6 million is inaccurate.

Who is Mathis Servais?

Servais impressed for Mechelen in his first season in Belgium's top flight, scoring four goals and assisting two more in 32 appearances. He came through Club Brugge's academy, making 25 appearances for their reserve team.

Why does it matter for Millwall Football Club?

Servais is set to become Millwall's third signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Jenson Metcalfe and Tairyk Arconte last month, as the team looks to build on their current league standing: 3rd in Championship, 83 pts, 24W-11D-11L from 46 games, recent form LDWDW. With 64 goals scored and 49 conceded, the Lions have a +15 goal difference, and are 12 points behind leaders Coventry in the title race. Servais will sign a long-term contract, subject to completing his medical, and is expected to play a key role in the team's upcoming season.
