Millwall could face a battle to keep hold of the Chinwike Okoli who is being eyed by Aston Villa, Fulham, Bournemouth and Cardiff City, Megasportsarena.com reports.
The 18 year old defender has been offered a first professional contract by the Lions this week as they look to keep hold of him.
Millwall’s offer is believed to be a two-year deal running until the end of the 2023/24 season.
Okoli has been on the books of the London club since he was 12 and has since risen up through the academy ranks at The Den.
The 6ft 4inc centre-back is yet to make a senior appearance for Gary Rowett’s side but has been a key player for the Lions at various youth levels over the past few years.
They will be hoping he puts pen-to-paper on their contract offer and commits his future to the club so they can start looking at the next steps for him, whether that be to loan him out next season to get some experience or try and integrate him into the first-team picture.
