Millwall set to clinch loan signing of Derby attacker Mason Bennett

BY RICHARD CAWLEY

Derby County striker Mason Bennett is set to sign on loan for Millwall today.

The Lions have agreed a deal for the attacker and he is due in South London this morning to wrap up his switch.

Millwall manager Gary Rowett confirmed to the South London Press earlier this month that Bennett was a target.

He said: “Would we like to sign another forward with a bit of flexibility and that sort of pace and power – which is probably the one thing we haven’t necessarily got that option in the building? Yes we would. Mason is a player who I have worked with before at Derby and he is one of quite a few players we are looking at.

“Has he got good qualities? Yes. Is he a player who could give us something different? Yes, along with quite a few others.

“But he is Derby’s player and we’d always be respectful of that fact.”
