Millwall Football Club midfielder Adam Mayor is in advanced talks with Scottish Premiership side Hibernian, according to journalist Dan Marsh. The 21-year-old is set to leave The Den after two and a half years, with a move to Edinburgh edging closer to completion. Mayor, who spent last season on loan at Cambridge United, has made just six appearances for the Lions since joining from Morecambe in January 2024.

What happened?

Millwall head coach Alex Neil had initially suggested that Mayor would be given an opportunity to impress during pre-season, but the player now appears to be on the verge of a permanent exit. The midfielder impressed during his loan spell at Cambridge, scoring three goals in 34 appearances as the U’s secured promotion to League One. However, Hibernian have now stepped up their interest, with negotiations at an advanced stage.

Why it matters for Millwall Football Club

Mayor’s potential departure comes as Millwall look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new Championship season. The Lions finished third in the Championship last season with 83 points, 12 points behind leaders Coventry City. With goals scored (64) and conceded (49) a key focus, Neil will be looking to bring in new faces to bolster his options. The sale of Mayor could provide funds for further reinforcements.

What comes next?

If the move to Hibernian goes through, Mayor will become the fourth EFL player to join the Scottish Premiership side this summer, following the arrivals of Jason Kerr, Callum Wright, and Azeem Abdulai. For Millwall, the focus will now turn to finalising their pre-season preparations ahead of the new campaign. The Lions will be hoping to build on their strong finish to last season, where they recorded a recent form of LDWDW.
