Millwall have had an exciting start to the transfer window, as Alex Neil looks to build a team that can challenge for a top six finish this season.
As well as a new contract for the manager, Josh Coburn has joined in a club-record deal from Middlesbrough, and further business will be expected ahead of the opener at Norwich City on August 9.
And, one player who could improve the Millwall squad that is well-known to Millwall’s boss is Sunderland midfielder Alan Browne – he could be a perfect fit for the Lions going into the 2025-26 season.

Browne played 23 times in the Championship last season for the Black Cats, but just 13 of those were starts, although it’s important to note he missed a big chunk of the campaign through injury.
Nevertheless, the 30-year-old was very much a squad player, and with the Black Cats having won promotion, and added Habib Diarra and Noah Sadiki to the group for around £50m, he is going to find it even harder to get near the starting 11 next season under Regis Le Bris.
Whilst that’s a shame for the Irishman, these things happen in football, and Browne will no doubt be open to leaving in search of more game-time at this stage of his career, just one year after arriving on Wearside.

If he is available, then it would be a surprise if Neil didn’t try to bring Browne to The Den, as the duo have a strong relationship from their time at Preston.
The current Millwall chief was in charge at Deepdale for nearly four years between 2017 and 2021, with Browne barely missing a game in that spell.
