Motherwell star addresses transfer speculation amid latest Rangers link as he sets focus on one thing
Lennon Miller insists he has no problem with speculation – as he credits Stuart Kettlewell with his rise in Motherwell maturity.
The 17-year-old was again an impressive performer in a 3-1 win over Clyde on Saturday. He netted a penalty that he won during the Premier Sports Cup clash, amid mounting speculation over clubs taking an interest in him.
Rangers are rumoured to hold an interest while a clutch of English clubs have been linked to the midfielder since his emergence into a Motherwell regular. It’s not something the star is bothered by with one clear focus. He said: “When you are doing well at a young age then you are obviously going to get speculation, but for me, it’s just about focusing on a Saturday or any game that we play and doing the best I can.”
Leadership skills are something that Miller feels he has developed during his time in the Motherwell first team. Manager Kettlewell is credited as a key influence in that development.
He explained: “He’s been massive for me. He played me all last season and played me in the middle of the park at such a young age. He has to show great faith in me, and thankfully he has done that. I feel like I’m growing with every game.
“Last season, I was probably kind of tentative like a wee boy, but I feel like this season I have kind of grown up and I have got the leadership skills. It can be hard to show that as a young boy coming into the first team, it’s tough because there are so many experienced players there and you are a young boy. But they all respect the young boys, and as a young boy you need to help them as well as them helping you.”
