Lennon Miller completes Udinese move as Motherwell bank club record fee

Lennon Miller has completed his move to Udinese, with Motherwell banking a club record fee.

While the fee remains undisclosed, the Fir Park side have confirmed it exceeds the previous record fee Celtic paid for David Turnbull. The deal also contains various add-ons the Lanarkshire club could benefit from depending on how the Scotland star gets on.

The 18-year-old pens a five-year contract with the Serie A side as he becomes the latest Scot to ply his trade in Italy, joining Napoli duo Billy Gilmour and Scott McTominay and Bologna captain Lewis Ferguson, among others.

Announcing the signing, Udinese said: "Lennon Miller dresses in black and white One of the brightest young talents in European football joins Udinese. A modern midfielder, capable of combining technique, vision, and character, he arrives from Motherwell FC with a five-year contract."

“To all the players who I’ve played alongside with, and for all the kind words they’ve said about me, thank you. My teammates have helped me through everything and allowed me to play with freedom.

“I want to also express my appreciation to all the staff behind the scenes at the club. Some are still there, some have moved on, but they all work so hard to keep the place going. You may not see first-hand the hard work and sacrifices they make, but having been in the building all these years, I can’t thank them enough for everything they do.

“This is a new chapter in my life, and I move on filled with excitement. I may not be at Fir Park to cheer on the boys, but I’ll be watching and following from afar. The club has a big place in my heart, and I will always be grateful. I wish all the lads the best for the rest of the season.

“Mon the Well.”
