Motherwell manager provides update on future of Celtic-linked Lennon Miller

Motherwell boss Michael Wimmer has provided an update on the future of Lennon Miller ahead of the summer transfer window. 

The Parkhead side were reportedly weighing up a late move for the youngster in January, which eventually never came to fruition. 

Miller has stayed put at Fir Park, although he may be on the move this summer, as Wimmer recently opened up on the future of his star man: "I know the Bundesliga, I know many clubs and sporting directors there," he told SunSport.

“And, of course, some teams in Germany ask me about him.

"I am [a] coach, I am [a] manager, I’m not an agent for Lennon — but if the German club is asking me about him, then I give an honest answer.

"I say he is a guy which, if he fits to the right club, then he can play in the Bundesliga.

"Lennon has so many skills. He has unbelievable composure on the ball.

"And with 70 games in the Scottish Premiership at 18, he is physically prepared for the next step."

Miller has turned out 36 times for Motherwell this season. He has captained the side on several occasions and contributed to 11 goals along the way. 

"It becomes easier once you've had it," he recently said on transfer speculation. 

"It's easier just to put it to one side once you've had it for two years now. It's easy enough. But it's nice to have these teams linked with you, but I try to put it to one side and try and focus on every day."

Miller was asked whether he thinks he'll be a Motherwell player come the beginning of next season: "Honestly, I don't know," he replied. 

"I don't even ask my agent. I just let him deal with it. We've got three games left of the season. That's my main focus to pick up points for Motherwell and see where that takes us."
