Millwall Football Club has secured the signing of 18-year-old striker Ajay Matthews from Middlesbrough. The young forward has committed to a long-term contract with the club, noted for his traditional centre-forward attributes such as pressing, aerial ability, and a keen eye for goal. Millwall's director of football, Steve Gallen, expressed optimism about Matthews' potential impact, while emphasizing the importance of managing expectations as he integrates into the first team training environment.
Ajay's an old-fashioned centre-forward... His pressing, aerial threat and the desire to have the ball to feet is impressive and – most importantly – he loves to score goals.
We will have to be patient and protect the expectations around him... He will be out there training with the first team every day, which will be key in his development.
