Contact Made: Millwall make move to sign 24-yr-old - Exclusive

Millwall and Standard Liege are among a number of clubs who have registered their interest in signing Hibernian defender Rocky Bushiri, sources have told Football Insider.

The 24-year-old is in the final year of his contract and is one of the highest earners at Hibs and due to that contract situation, the central defender could be available for a cut-price fee in the region of £250,000.

Millwall have been monitoring the former Norwich man as they look to bolster their defensive options, while Standard Liege are keen to bring the former Belgium Under-21 international back to his homeland.

Bushiri has yet to feature for Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership this season, being an unused substitute in both games.

The central defender has typically been a regular feature in Hibernian’s team since he joined the club, making 73 appearances in all competitions for the club.

Millwall want to give Rocky Bushiri some Championship experience

Bushiri has previously played in England, but he’s never featured in the Championship which Millwall are looking to change.

His opportunities came in League One, where he made four appearances for Blackpool, but he has played in the Jupiler Pro League in Belgium.

The Londoners will be hope to convince Bushiri to make the move to England instead of returning to Belgium once again.

Millwall are close to completing another signing from the Scottish Premiership in the form of Celtic’s Daniel Kelly.

The Championship side had agreed to sign Kelly in January, but that move has been accelerated to now as Football Insider revealed the 18-year-old is currently undergoing his medical.
