Millwall locked in £5m transfer battle over Scottish striker
Millwall have reportedly submitted a £5 million bid to sign Hull City striker Kyle Joseph, but the Lions are expected to face stiff competition for the 24-year-old forward. Hull are under pressure to balance their finances due to EFL Profit and Sustainability Regulations, making Joseph one of their most valuable assets.
Joseph enjoyed an impressive 2025/26 campaign, scoring eight Championship goals and providing five assists in 44 league appearances as Hull secured promotion. His performances have attracted interest from multiple clubs, with Millwall hoping to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season.
However, the transfer is far from straightforward. Joseph is currently recovering from an ankle injury, which could delay any potential move, while other Championship sides are also monitoring his situation. Reports suggest Hull will only consider selling if their valuation is met.
A £5 million deal would equal Millwall’s club-record transfer fee, underlining just how highly the club rates the Scottish striker as they continue their preparations for the new Championship season.
The Lions are understood to be keen on adding more pace and goals to their frontline, with Joseph viewed as a player capable of making an immediate impact despite his recent injury setback.
For Hull City, any decision will likely depend on whether an acceptable offer arrives and if they can secure a suitable replacement before the transfer window closes.
With interest continuing to grow and several clubs keeping a close eye on developments, the race for Joseph’s signature could become one of the Championship’s most closely watched transfer battles in the coming weeks.
