Motherwell’s Jens Berthel Askou Acknowledges Miller’s Likely Exit

Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou has indicated that there is a “high probability” that talented midfielder Lennon Miller will depart the club during the summer transfer window. This statement comes as the club evaluates several bids for the 18-year-old player, whose current contract has one year remaining.

Miller attracted attention from multiple clubs across Europe after a promising season in which he made 39 appearances and was named captain by former manager Stuart Kettlewell despite facing injury challenges. His potential move is generating significant interest, with Askou confirming that the situation is evolving.

Manager Focused on Upcoming Match

As Motherwell prepares to host Rangers FC in their Scottish Premiership opener on Saturday, Askou is eager to limit distractions for his team. He noted, “There have been some bids on him recently, and it’s something the board is working with. I’m trying with the staff here to get the team ready for Saturday, so it’s going on in the background and will probably intensify in the coming days.”

While the manager remains focused on the match, he acknowledged the increasing speculation surrounding Miller. “There’s been a lot of interest in him for a long time, and of course it’s intensifying now,” he said. “Obviously there’s a high probability that he will move this summer. Nothing is finalised yet, but there are concrete discussions happening, which we anticipated.”

Miller’s Recovery and Future at Motherwell

Despite the transfer talk, Miller has not yet made a competitive appearance this season due to injury, which has kept him sidelined from the Scottish League Cup group matches. Askou expressed hope for Miller’s recovery, stating, “It’s going to be interesting to see how it all turns out, but for now he’s still a Motherwell player and he’s doing his best to get back to full training.”

As the summer transfer window progresses, the future of Lennon Miller remains uncertain. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if he takes the field for Motherwell again or if he embarks on a new chapter in his career. With the club’s crucial match against Rangers on the horizon, Askou is determined to keep his team’s focus sharp and ready for the challenge ahead.
