Move to Europe would suit Miller, says Naismith
A move to Europe would suit midfielder Lennon Miller if he is to depart Motherwell this summer, says former Scotland striker Steven Naismith.
The 18-year-old, who has just one year remaining on his Fir Park deal, is reportedly attracting interest from a number of clubs after a stellar campaign.

The youngster ended a memorable season with a first Scotland start, impressing in midfield and providing an assist in the 4-0 win in Liechtenstein.
Ex-Hearts boss Naismith says he has "loved" seeing Scottish players, such as Lewis Ferguson, Josh Doig and Aaron Hickey, go abroad at a young age and feels Miller could be next to benefit from a move to the continent.
"My generation, players going abroad was something that rarely happened," the former Rangers forward said on BBC Sportsound on Sunday.
"European football would suit Miller better, because his big attributes are he's good technically and his awareness is very good.

"Other parts he can learn, Ferguson is the prime example of that. Ferguson's turned into a brilliant all-round midfielder.
"Motherwell will get rewarded for their hard work [with a good fee]."
