Sunderland 'preparing' £10m Lennon Miller bid as Black Cats 'quietly confident' of landing Motherwell ace
Miller will be a big target for clubs this summer, with Motherwell set to cash in on their star Celtic and Rangers could be set to miss out on Lennon Miller, with Sunderland preparing an ambitious £10m bid for the Motherwell star. Miller made his first Scotland start in the 4-0 win over Liechtenstein on Monday, and the Black Cats are preparing a bid to test Motherwell's resolve for the 18-year-old, according to SportsBoom. Though Motherwell are keen to hold on to their young star, Miller has made no secret of his desire to play at the highest level, and has been linked with a number of top European clubs, including Borussia Dortmund. Miller is under contract until May 2026, which gives Motherwell some bargaining power for the PFA Scotland and Scottish Football Writers' Association Young Player of the Year, having already knocked back a £2.5m bid from Udinese. The midfielder, who has had three seasons at Motherwell, scored four goals and registered eight assists in the Premiership last term, as the Steelmen finished eighth. Sunderland, who were promoted to the Premier League last season after an eight-year absence, are 'quietly confident' they can tempt Miller with the promise of English top-flight football.

Celtic could be set to lose out on long-term target Lennon Miller this summer after a new report claimed English Premier League side Sunderland are ready to launch an ambitious £10million deal for the highly-rated Motherwell and Scotland midfielder. The in-demand teenager has been linked with a move away from Fir Park after entering the final year of his contract, with Celtic, Rangers, Strasbourg and Borussia Dortmund, and a number of other clubs across Europe, said to hold an interest in the Scottish starlet. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Named the SWFA young player of the year in May, he scored four goals and assisted a further eight last season as Motherwell finished eighth in the Scottish Premiership. He also captained the side on multiple occasions. The 18-year-old put in a sparking performance on his first international start for Scotland this week too. Partnering Billy Gilmour in midfield, Miller grabbed an assist as Scotland thrashed Liechtenstein 4-0 in Monday's international friendly in Vaduz. Lennon Miller is one of Scottish football's hottest properties. | SNS Group "It's a good night's work,' said Miller after the game. 'A proud moment to make my first start and to pop up with an assist is always nice. We played some nice stuff out there. I thought we came here tonight and our application was second to none. I've got a couple of weeks off to come, then it's back to it." Motherwell were reported to have rejected a bid of £2.5million from Serie A side Udinese back in January, with the offer said to have fallen well short of the club's valuation of Miller. However, with the Fir Park star out of contract next year, it could prove difficult to keep him at the club this summer, with Sunderland are 'readying' a bid of £10million in order to tempt Miller across the border, according to an exclusive report from SportsBoom. While the young maestro has plenty suitors across Europe, the reports claims the Black Cats are 'quietly confident' they can tempt Miller south of the border, with the promise of regular English Premier League football one of their big selling points.
