Southampton are monitoring Motherwell’s teenage striker, Lennon Miller, with keen interest for a January transfer to bolster their midfield options. The young talent who’s already made an earnt a Scotland under-21 cap, is being scouted by Sport Republic—the ownership group behind Southampton, French club Valenciennes, and Turkish team Goztepe.
Sport Republic has established a sophisticated scouting network that identifies promising players for all three of its clubs. Miller, who is just 18, has been under their radar, with scouts observing his performances both remotely and in person over recent weeks. This scouting effort is expected to intensify in the coming weeks.
Miller, who recently captained Motherwell in a match against Rangers at Hampden, has emerged through the ranks at Fir Park and is regarded as one of Scotland’s most promising young talents. Any move to acquire him would likely require a record-breaking bid surpassing the fee Motherwell received for David Turnbull’s transfer to Celtic. The club is in a strong negotiating position, having recently secured Miller on improved terms with a contract extending to the summer of 2026.
Despite the mounting interest from clubs both in the UK and across Europe, Miller remains focused on his development at Motherwell. Calls have been made for his inclusion in the Scotland national squad, but national coach Steve Clarke advocates for a cautious approach to his international career progression.
As the reopening of the transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Southampton to see if they make a move for the emerging Scottish star.
