Should Lennon Miller's next step be a move to continent to follow in the footsteps of some his new Scotland team-mates?
Fresh from winning PFA Scotland's young player of the year award, speculation continues surround the 18-year-old's future.
With just over a year remaining on the midfielder's Motherwell contract, the club will have a big decision to make if offers come their way this summer.

So, too, will Miller. Is it time for the Lanarkshire side to cash in and for the teenager to move on?
If so, would taking inspiration from the likes of Scott McTominay, Billy Gilmour and Lewis Ferguson be beneficial?
McTominay and Gilmour are excelling at title-chasing Napoli since joining the Serie A side last summer, while Ferguson continues to thrive at Bologna.
And A View From The Terrace presenter Craig Telfer sees no reason why "phenomenal" Miller can't emulate the Scotland trio's success in Italy.
"He seems to be like the complete midfielder," Telfer said on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast. "And I think if you're a Motherwell supporter, you're just enjoying him while you can.

"Because there's no doubt about it. If it's not this summer, if it's not in January, he'll be playing his football elsewhere.
"I really hope that if he does move on, he goes to the continent, he goes to somewhere like Italy. We're seeing the likes of McTominay and Gilmour thriving at Napoli.
"I really think Miller's got all the tools to make it out there as well."

Fabrizio Romano reports Al-Hilal have improved their salary offer to Victor Osimhen
Manchester United transfer target Victor Osimhen is edging closer to a move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal. The Red Devils are keen to add experienced firepower to their striking department and one name that has frequently been mentioned is Osimhen's. Advertisement Nonetheless, fresher reports have indicated that the club will not get into discussions for the striker due to the high costs involved of a transfer and salary. News then broke that Al-Hilal had bid €70 million for the lethal forward. The tale took an unexpected twist when he rejected a €30m-a-year contract offer, sparking hope in Turkey that he may stay with current loan side, Galatasaray. Reliable Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that 'Al Hilal have now improved their proposal to Victor Osimhen and SSC Napoli to try and reach an agreement soon.' He also stated that Galatasaray are still in the race but the Saudi club are doing all they can to close the deal with Napoli and the player. Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport add more meat to the bones as they claim that Al-Hilal have now made a proposal of '€35 million with bonuses for four years, almost the €40 million that Victor was aiming for to accept the transfer to Saudi.' Advertisement Nonetheless, a deal is still not done between the two clubs as Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has insisted that there will be no discount on the player's €75 million release clause, in spite of Al-Hilal's offer of €70 million. Galatasaray are still hoping to win the race but Al-Hilal are desperate to close the deal by the end of the first part of the transfer window on Tuesday 10th June, so Osimhen could play in the Club World Cup. New manager, Simone Inzaghi, is also heavily 'pushing' for a deal to be completed for the Nigerian forward. The paper predicts that with only a minor difference in club valuation and the pressures of Tuesday's deadline for Al-Hilal, a deal could certainly be wrapped up soon.

Report – Inter Milan Make Manchester United & Parma Strikers Top Targets For Summer Transfer Window
Joshua Zirkzee and Yoan-Ange Bonny have emerged as the top targets for Inter Milan ahead of the summer transfer window. Per Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the two strikers have climbed to the top of Beppe Marotta's shortlist. Advertisement Inter had tried to lure Joshua Zirkzee to San Siro before Manchester United beat them to the punch last summer. However, the Dutchman's first season at Old Trafford has been a disaster, and he could soon return to Serie A. Meanwhile, Yoan-Ange Bonny has enjoyed an impressive maiden season in Italy's top flight with Parma. The Frenchman has been one of the revelations this term, attracting interest from numerous clubs in the country. Inter Milan Eager to Sign Joshua Zirkzee & Yoan-Ange Bonny PARMA, ITALY – DECEMBER 15: Ange-Yoan Bonny of Parma Calcio looks on during the Serie A match between Parma and Verona at Stadio Ennio Tardini on December 15, 2024 in Parma, Italy. (Photo by) Both players fit Inter's new transfer policy. Indeed, they're both young, boast ample room for improvement, and would likely offer a decent resale value. Advertisement However, they would unlikely be the club's only signings. Bonny's clubmate, Giovanni Leoni, is also on Inter's shopping list, especially now that Yann Bisseck may leave. Furthermore, the Serie A title hopefuls keep close tabs on Genoa midfielder Morten Frendrup. After Piotr Zielinski struggled in his first season at San Siro, Inter could try to land the Norwegian this summer.
