Esse, just 19, has been making waves and is a hot target for the January transfer window. Neil mentioned that while there’s interest, he’s not sure how close any deal is.
He pointed out that keeping Esse was a big win for Millwall, especially since he signed a new contract after some convincing. The kid’s been a standout player this season.
Neil made it clear that they don’t want to lose their top talent, but they also understand the situation with Esse’s contract. If he moves, it’ll be for a good chunk of change, which is smart business for the club.
He also noted that there’s been chatter about other clubs, including some from the Premier League and even Monaco, but right now, Palace seems to be the main contender.
When asked about the chances of a quick move, Neil said it’s tough to say. He’s not in the negotiation loop, but he confirmed Esse is training and ready for the upcoming match.
So, it’s business as usual for Esse as he prepares for the game on Monday. Let’s see how this all plays out!
