Millwall must battle their Championship competitors to sign Kasey Palmer.

Millwall came close to stunning the Championship this season as they came agonisingly close to a play-off spot.

Neil Harris’ side’s sparking 2018 form gives them a platform to build on for next season and now they must show they intend to compete again.

A start would be joining the hunt for talented Chelsea attacker Kasey Palmer.

Palmer, 21, is an attacking midfielder who has already gained experience in promotion battles.

He helped Huddersfield win a place in the top flight in 2016/17, starring for the Terriers before picking up an injury.

In January Palmer joined Derby County on loan and scored twice as he helped the Rams earn a play-off spot.

Chelsea are willing to let Palmer go out on another loan, and Championship sides are already showing interest.

The Mail report Norwich City and Sheffield United are both interested in Palmer, two sides who finished below Millwall last season.

If Millwall are going to compete for promotion and mount a serious challenge next season then they need to strengthen.

Right now their reputation from a footballing sense is as strong as ever, with Neil Harris making a name for himself as one of the most impressive managers in the Football League.

Winning the race to sign Palmer and giving him an opportunity to stay in London would quickly demonstrate that they intend to compete again.
