Championship club have been linked with a move for Peterborough United star
Reports have emerged linking Peterborough United winger Kyrell Lisbie with a move to Championship club Millwall.
Lisbie enjoyed an outstanding first season at Posh following his move last summer from National League side Braintree. He scored 14 goals in all competitions including a pair of hat-tricks, against Aston Villa Under 21s in the EFL Trophy and against Wigan Athletic in League One. Lisbie was also credited with seven assists.
Lisbie’s form tailed off towards the end of the season with Posh admitting they were forced to give him too many minutes. He appeared in 44 of the club’s 46 League One matches.
Posh handed Lisbie a new deal which runs until June 2030 before the end of last season as they braced themselves for interest in a rapid left winger.
Millwall are known to be seeking wide players after losing in the Championship play-off semi-finals last season. Posh have recruited another left-winger in Owura Edwards from Colchester United this summer, but that signing was supposed to supplement rather than replace Lisbie. Posh sold two unwanted wide players in Abraham Odah and Cian Hayes to League Two clubs Salford City and Rochdale last week.
Posh would expect a seven figure fee for Lisbie, but they are not thought to be actively trying to sell the 22 year-old. Posh do have financial concerns, but they have recruited five new players this summer without yet spending a penny.
