A move for Millwall defender Japhet Tanganga has been rumoured over the past week. The former Spurs defender is attracting a lot of interest over the last month. He reportedly has a £1.2million release clause in his contract.
According to Football Insider, Millwall are now resigned to losing the defender, and will not make any efforts to stand in a way of a possible deal. However, the destination lies in the hands of Tanganga. And an exclusive report from Alan Nixon has indicated that the 26-year old is keen on a move away from England. There is said to be interest from Germany and France.
Huge blow for Leeds
The Whites have now seemingly missed out on the chance to add some more experience to the backline. Tanganga’s versatility could have provided a huge boost to the depth at the club. His ability to fit in multiple roles could have given some flexibility to Daniel Farke.
On top of that, with Sam Byram’s future undecided, he could be the perfect replacement if a deal is not agreed.
