Swansea jump ahead of Arsenal for Millwall teen Abdul Abdulmalik

The race for Millwall's England under-17 prospect Abdul Abdulmalik is heating up.

The Daily Mail says Swansea have had an approach for Abdulmalik rejected.

The Welsh side have made the first move for exciting forward Abdulmalik who has also been watched by Arsenal and Scottish champions Rangers.

And the growing interest in their 18 year-old academy product represents a dilemma for Millwall.

His current contract expires at the end of this month.

Millwall confirmed when announcing their retained list last month that they have offered Abdulmalik, a regular scorer at youth level who joined the Lions in 2018, a professional deal.

But he is ready to move on rather than extend his contract to stay at The Den.
