Hide AdPalmer on Millwall ‘interest’
EFL pundit Carlton Palmer has weighed in on MIllwall’s reported pursuit of West Brom star Jayson Molumby, with Neil Harris refusing the shut down the links over the weekend.
"He impressed previously when he's been on loan at Millwall before and the 24-year-old was a key part of Corberán's side. He really likes the player, but he missed the majority of last season,” Palmer told Football League World.
"His contract is set to expire next summer and, following a recent financial update which has confirmed, West Bromwich Albion are under a financial plan due to being at risk for breaking spending rules. It's been believed that Molumby might become one of those that West Bromwich Albion might be forced to cash in on.
"He's also in a bit of bother after he got an FA charge for apparently throwing a punch in a pre-season game against Mallorca behind closed doors. We’re just waiting to see what the FA do as a punishment for Molumby. It might be financial or might, more than likely, be a match ban."

Hide AdRomano on Rowe links
Transfer ‘insider’ Fabrizio Romano has issued his verdict on the links between Leeds United and Norwich City star Jon Rowe following Crysencio Summerville’s move from Elland Road to West Ham.
“Yeah, he's a possibility. It's true that his name is one of the ones they are considering internally. At the moment, I'm told that still nothing is close to being done, but it's a concrete possibility. For sure, they will replace Summerville,” Romano told GiveMeSport.
“They are assessing all the options, but I think Leeds will be quite fast on this one, also because they made good money with Summerville and also with Archie Gray, so they have some money to invest, and they will surely do that.”
