Millwall manager Alex Neil is seeking to strengthen his defence before the September deadline, and Nottingham Forest centre-back Zach Abbott has been identified as a target. According to Alan Nixon's Patreon, Millwall is pursuing a loan signing of the 20-year-old for the season. The club faces competition from Championship rivals Preston North End and Watford. Nixon also stated that both of these clubs have submitted bids for the England youth international. Millwall's interest in adding another defender is partly due to a recent injury to Tristan Crama. Abbott's contract at Nottingham Forest is valid until June 2029 and his Transfermarkt market value is €4.00m.
