Millwall keen on permanent deal for Hull City loanee and Neil Harris discusses future of Tottenham loanee Tanganga
Millwall head coach Neil Harris says that the Championship club are interested in a permanent deal for Hull City loanee Ryan Longman.
The 23-year-old winger has made 36 appearances for the Lions this season and scored three times – including a priceless and spectacular winner against Leicester City at The Den last month.
Harris said: “It’s no secret that we’re going to need to recruit in those areas of the pitch. Predominantly the team was recruited to play a 3-5-2 system, I’ve gone a little more traditional into the 4-2-3-1/4-4-2 systems, so we do need to recruit in wide areas.
“We’ve also got some very good young wide players in the building that we want to develop in Aidomo Emakhu and Adam Mayor. And we have to make sure that we let them develop at the right time.
“Romain Esse started again today. He’s got a huge future at this football club under me. But what’s his best position? Is it wide, is it as a 10? These are decisions we get to over a period of time when he develops.
“We do need some senior wide player options as well. Ryan Longman’s done excellently and I’m sure there’ll be a discussion. Ryan has made it very clear that he’d like to be here and he’s done excellently for me, so there will be some discussions to see if there’s anything possible there.
“Japhet Tanganga, that red card won’t sort of blight his Millwall record. And certainly not for me. He’s been exceptional. We need to add to the centre-half positions but again, that’s a conversation that needs to happen above me. But I get on brilliantly with Japhet and I’ll certainly stay in touch with him.”
