What happened?
Gent head coach Rik De Mil has confirmed that Max Dean wants to move back to England after the forward was left out of their win over KV Mechelen on Sunday. The 22-year-old, who joined the Belgian side from MK Dons, has been linked with Bolton and Millwall in the summer window, with reports stating that the Trotters have had a bid rejected by Gent for the player.
Why it matters for Millwall Football Club
The news will come as a welcome boost to Millwall Football Club, who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. With the Lions currently 12 points behind leaders Coventry in the Championship title race, securing a deal for a talented young striker like Max Dean could be a shrewd move.
What comes next?
It remains to be seen whether Millwall Football Club will be able to secure a deal for Max Dean, but the news will undoubtedly be a positive development for the club. With the transfer window still open, there is still time for the Lions to make a move for the 22-year-old forward.
