Millwall complete deal for striker and still working on more incomings | OneFootball

Millwall have completed a deal to sign Scotland international striker Lyndon Dykes on a one-year deal.

The 30-year-old joins as a free agent, after his short-term deal with Charlton Athletic expired in the summer. He also brings with him plenty of Championship experience, having already played in the division for QPR and Birmingham City.

“I’m pleased to be signing Lyndon Dykes,” said Steve Gallen, Millwall’s director of football. “He’s played at both Championship and international level, so he knows the standards required.

“He’s a genuine target man – physical, hard to knock off the ball, and someone who’ll give defenders a different problem to deal with. We’ve also seen how demanding this league can be, so he also adds some key depth in the attacking area.

“We’ve made a real effort to balance the squad with young, exciting talent alongside experienced heads who can guide them and help set the tone in the dressing room.”

After coming up short in the Championship play-offs last campaign, Millwall have been looking to strengthen their squad. Dykes is the ninth new signing through the door in what has been a busy summer at the Den. 

Nevertheless, Dykes is not expected to be their last bit of business completed this summer. Millwall are still actively searching for more recruitments.

“You’re always looking to add. You’re always looking to improve,” boss Alex Neil said earlier this week. “You’re always looking to do bits and bobs. But how much is not just determined by us. We’re dealing with other clubs, we’re dealing with agents, so there are loads of moving parts.”
