Italian rivals Bologna are also keen on the Scotland midfielder, who is destined to move abroad for a club record sale. Celtic are long-term admirers of Miller but a foreign switch appeals, with German clubs also showing interest. Motherwell boss Jens Berthel Askou claimed there was 'nothing concrete' when quizzed on whether Miller had travelled abroad for signing talks this week. The Fir Park starlet missed Tuesday's 3-0 win over Morton, with the Dane confirming he was elsewhere. Miller has yet to make a competitive appearance this term as transfer talks continue with interested clubs. Udinese finished 12th in Serie A last season and don't play their first competitive game of the new campaign until August 18. Speaking ten days ago, Miller's dad Lee confirmed a move abroad could happen this month. He said: 'I think there will be a bid that comes in, if not this week then maybe next week. 'There is a lot of talk behind the scenes. Scotland youth international Lennon Miller scores from his own half on his debut for the Under-16s against England "The clubs are speaking together and we will see what happens. 'The thing is with Lennon, he just wants to play football and enjoy it. That is what he does best.' Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Who will England play in Women's Euros final? Lionesses learn opponents for huge clash
Spain will face England in the final of Euro 2025 after Aitana Bonmati's extra-time winner against Germany. The fixture will be a repeat of the 2023 World Cup final, when the Spaniards came out on top against Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses. Just like England on Tuesday, the game was decided with penalties looming, as Bonmati drove home a low effort from a tight angle which beat Ann-Katrin Berger at her near post Germany's early gameplan was clear, with Christian Wuck's team pressing intensely and looking to hit Spain with rapid attacks. One of those produced one of the best early opportunities, with Klara Buhl racing onto a long clearance from goalkeeper Berger but screwing her shot wide. Spain were happy to take a more patient approach early on, waiting for mistakes, and striker Esther Gonzalez almost punished some defensive confusion only for Berger to tip her effort over the bar. And it was Montse Tome's side who came closest to a first half opener, though, with captain Irene Paredes hitting the base of the post with a header from a corner. Germany needed Berger on top form again after her heroics in the quarter-final victory over France, as Gonzalez and Claudia Pina tested her in quick succession in first-half stoppage-time. The second period was quieter, but Buhl remained a threat and almost stunned Spain deep into stoppage-time. Her effort took a wicked deflection, with Coll scrambling back to claw the ball out from under the bar and producing just as important a save from Carlotta Wamser's follow-up. The first half of extra-time passed with relatively little in the way of goalmouth action, but Germany were denied the chance to follow their shoot-out victory over France with more penalty drama. Berger, so great in the previous round, wasn't able to close the door quickly enough as Bonmati fired home to deny Germany a spot in the final in Basel. England had sealed their own place in the final 24 hours earlier, but they made hard work of things against Italy. Barbara Bonansea's goal had left the holders two minutes from elimination, only for super-sub Michelle Agyemang to force extra-time. The Lionesses needed penalties against Sweden in the quarters, but just one spot-kick was required against Italy in the semi. Chloe Kelly's initial effort was saved by Azzurre keeper Laura Giuliani, but the Arsenal star was able to tuck home the rebound deep into extra-time. 'I thought at 88 mins, wow, okay, well we have to score a goal or we are going home,' England manager Sarina Wiegman said. 'When the injury time was shown and there were seven minutes left, I thought that gives us the time we need to create another chance. 'But of course the clock keeps ticking and you are thinking maybe it won't come. But we play to win, we play to get these moments and we are a team that never gives up.'

Why Michelle Agyemang must be allowed to cause havoc from the start for England in the Euros final - as dust settles on dramatic victory over Italy
Now the dust has settled on Tuesday's chaotic Euros semi-final victory over Italy, Sarina Wiegman may need to reach for the aspirin. Michelle Agyemang's explosive cameos have handed the Dutch coach a selection headache and there is a compelling case for the teen sensation to be promoted to the starting XI for Sunday's final. It is hard to question a coach who has just reached her fifth consecutive major tournament final but if England deliver another display like those against Sweden and Italy, Sunday could be painful viewing. Wiegman is known for being reluctant to roll the dice and has made just two changes to her starting line-up this tournament, yet twice England have had to call upon their super-subs to rescue them at the death. Wiegman has insisted: 'I'd like to go ahead in the beginning and stay ahead. We prepare for every scenario but we don't say, 'Let's go behind and score at the end'.' Starting Agyemang would be her boldest move yet. The 19-year-old — whose name means 'saviour of the nation' in the Akan language of her parents' native country, Ghana — wasn't even supposed to be here. She was sent out on loan by Arsenal last summer to 'continue her development' at Brighton, where she made just three starts. Then came the sliding-doors moment just two months before Wiegman named her Euros squad, when Alessia Russo suffered a knock and Agyemang was called up to replace her for their Nations League game against Belgium. England were 3-1 down when she was introduced in the 80th minute. Just 41 seconds later, Leah Williamson's looping cross found her. One touch to control with her thigh, and another to blast it into the roof of the net. Agyemang, who was a ball girl at Wembley for Wiegman's third game in charge of England in 2021, has made a huge impact off the bench at this tournament, not just for her goals but for how she has elevated England's overall attacking threat. In the quarter-final against Sweden, England had managed just one shot on target before she came on in the 70th minute. By the end of extra time, they had had another three. In the Italy clash, England had just one Opta-defined 'big chance' before she came on in the 85th minute but by the end, they had created four more. Agyemang offers something different in the final third and with Lauren James an injury doubt for Sunday, the case for starting her only strengthens. Against Germany, who would likely line up with a back three, Agyemang could partner Russo to stretch their opponents' disciplined defensive unit. Italy played with a similar system which frustrated England but the Lionesses were far more effective after Aggie Beever-Jones and Agyemang came on in the 85th minute to play up front together. Against Spain, Agyemang would be the perfect agitator against the world champions' unsettled defence. England players had a recovery session following Tuesday's gruelling semi-final with Italy, which included spending time in a state of the art cryotherapy chamber Spain have fielded three different centre-back pairings at this tournament and Agyemang could have a field day against Irene Paredes, 34, on the break. Spain like to keep the ball on the floor and Agyemang would be effective latching on to long balls and bullying defenders. Agyemang is grounded in humility. She is deeply religious and plays the piano — hers has been brought out to Switzerland for the Euros — and as the youngest member of the squad, her team-mates often remark on her composure and maturity. But it's her strength that stands out. Bronze, a guiding presence for Agyemang, puts it best: 'You see it when she comes on — defenders are petrified of her. They have played 90 minutes and then they have to come up against Michelle. I sure wouldn't want that to be me!' Agyemang also brings technical finesse. Her audacious lob in extra time against Italy which kissed the bar was a moment of real quality. 'Nobody knows anything about her, she's only played a few minutes against Belgium and a few minutes in the season with Brighton,' Bronze added. 'She's a bit of the unknown and brings something different which maybe other teams aren't used to.'
