Millwall have reached an agreement to bring in Notts County’s star striker Macaulay Langstaff, with a £700,000 fee plus performance-related add-ons. The in-demand forward is currently undergoing a medical with the Championship side, paving the way for a significant career move.
Langstaff’s Rise to Championship Attention
After an exceptional season that saw him top the League Two scoring charts, Langstaff’s potential move to Millwall represents a step up to the Championship level. Millwall manager Neil Harris has expressed confidence in the 27-year-old’s ability to adapt to the higher tier, following a relentless pursuit since their initial bid on June 27.
Notts County Reluctantly Part with Star Player
Despite Notts County’s desire to retain their leading man, the club has faced mounting pressure to let Langstaff go, particularly as his stellar performances have not gone unnoticed, drawing interest from a host of Championship clubs, including Swansea City and Preston North End.
Langstaff’s Impressive Track Record
Coming off a standout season, Langstaff’s 28 goals helped Notts County achieve a respectable mid-table finish, despite the club being one of the highest scorers in League Two.
