Jed Wallace looks set to be back in Millwall’s squad for tomorrow’s home match against Nottingham Forest – with the two clubs unable to agree a deal for the attacker.

Millwall striker Tom Bradshaw was set to sign a contract extension yesterday. The Lions striker, 29, had been due to be a free agent this summer but has agreed new terms until the summer of 2024.

The Arsenal loanee has been out since undergoing knee surgery at the start of December.

The versatile Scottish defender missed Saturday’s 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Crystal Palace due to his partner being in labour.

The 24-year-old is on a season-long stay in SE16 and has started their last three matches. In total he has made 16 appearances for the South London club in all competitions.

The Northern Ireland international was expected to be sidelined for three months after undergoing an operation at the start of December.

The South Londoners are keen to add an attacking midfielder.

Millwall boss Gary Rowett felt it needed a “quality” spell by Michael Olise to decide Saturday’s FA Cup tie – and claimed that he was the only Crystal Palace player to carry a serious attacking threat in the third round tie.

The centre-back, 33, has clocked up three years with the Lions.

The South London club have rejected two bids from Forest for the attacker, who is out of contract at the end of the season.
