Norwich win 'one of the best' says Neil
Millwall manager Alex Neil has claimed his side's 3-1 win over Norwich City has been 'one of the best' since his appointment at The Den.Two goals from Mihailo Ivanovic either side of Femi Azeez's header were enough for the Londoners to steer past the Canaries as they push to get into the play off places."I think regardless of the other results I think it was a brilliant performance," Neil told BBC Radio London after the match. "I'd probably say it's up there as one of the best performances I've had since I've been here."I thought we were really aggressive, we created so many chances in the game. We scored three but we probably could've scored more."I thought defensively we were sound throughout the match. We've got a debutant at left back, we've got a young goalkeeper and I thought both of them were excellent as well."All in all, a great day at The Den if you take into consideration the results. I don't think we could've hoped for much more."

Rodrygo's Arsenal transfer stance emerges after private Xabi Alonso meeting
Arsenal are among the clubs who have been linked with a move for Rodrygo but the Real Madrid forward has made it clear that he is more than happy at the Bernabeu Rodrygo has dropped the clearest hint yet that he is poised to remain at Real Madrid after holding talks with the club's new head, coach, Xabi Alonso.. Arsenal have been heavily linked with the talented Brazil forward, who finished the 2024-25 season out of favour. There was even speculation that the 24-year-old had played his final game for the Spanish giants after he was omitted from the Copa del Rey final by Carlo Ancelotti, who has since gone on to take up a new role with the Brazil team. The uncertainty over Rodrygo's future has fuelled transfer talk and Arsenal are in the market for a wide forward this summer. But while the Gunners' interest in Rodrygo has emerged in recent weeks, the player himself has seemingly sent a message to his potential suitors and Real Madrid via social media. The former Santos man shared a snap on social media of himself enjoying training with the caption "happy", complete with a white heart emoji. And Marca report that is very much the case with Rodrygo said to be 'back on track' after recently holding talks with Alonso, who has succeeded Ancelotti at the helm. While Rodrygo is seemingly pleased at the prospect of kickstarting his career at the Bernabeu under Alonso, his stance will come as a major blow for Arsenal, who have earmarked the versatile forward as a top target. The Londoners are looking to add more firepower to Mikel Arteta's squad after finishing second in the Premier League for a third successive season with a new No.9 also on their summer wishlist. Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres are the two candidates to come in and lead the line and both are expected to leave their respective clubs this summer. Join the debate! Would Rodrygo be a good signing for Arsenal? Let us know here As well as interest in Rodrygo, who would strengthen Arsenal in the wide forward areas, the club are also said to be keen on Nico Williams and Anthony Gordon. Williams, the Athletic Bilbao winger, is a long-term target and has other suitors across Europe, too. However, a deal for the Spain international, coupled with his salary demands, could be out of reach for Arsenal.

Rangers could regret January transfer decision as Gio van Bronckhorst signing tipped for big things
The Light Blues captured one of England's promising talents but it didn't work out in Glasgow Millwall insider Murray Wallace reckons Rangers could rue letting Zak Lovelace go after the striker rejoined the English club in January. Gers seemed to have pulled off a major coup by trumping a string of Premier League clubs to the teenager's signature in 2022. Lovelace became the Lions' second-youngest player in history when he made his senior debut aged just 15 years and 340 days. Yet despite being one of the hottest prospects in England, Lovelace's development at Ibrox was stunted by never-ending injuries. Still only 19, he was allowed to return to south-east London at the turn of the year after amassing just eight appearances in royal blue. A knee injury curtailed his campaign but Wallace is confident the promising attacker can still fulfil his undoubted potential at the Den. Scots stopper Wallace - who has just pulled the curtain down on his seven-year stint at Millwall - told Record Sport: "It's a bit of a strange one because obviously he was at Millwall as a young lad and made his debut at 15. "The quality, speed and strength for such a young lad. I thought there's potential there. "It's difficult to judge him at 15 so when he goes up to Rangers, I thought it's a good place for him to develop. "It's good to see that he played a few times for Rangers in Europe and stuff as well which is massive. "When he re-signed, he only had a short bit of time then he got an injury and had to have surgery on his knee. "So he's still recovering from that and hasn't really had a chance to train and get into the team. "He's been injured since he's joined so he could be one for next season if he kicks on, gets his head down. "He's still young, he just needs to work hard for his opportunity and take it when he gets it." If Lovelace can finally get his career up and running, Wallace reckons Rangers could live to regret not keeping the talented forward. He said: "Potentially. That's always the risk with younger players. "If they are not right for you at that time, then it's so difficult to keep them. "You see it all the time when players go out on loan and then they have a good season. "They'll come back and start playing or just develop so much as a player. "It's all just about getting game time to develop them and if he gets his opportunity and game time with Millwall, then he could be a real top striker. "Of course, that could be one that they might regret. But it's obviously just not right for them at this moment in time."
