Preston North End will have to fork out at least one million pounds in order to secure the signing of Rotherham United‘s Denzel Hall.
The full-back has been one of a handful of bright spots in a dour Millers campaign which saw the club relegated to League Two and achieve their lowest league finish in over a decade.
Hall Suitors Learn Price
Their relegation has seen clubs eye cheap deals for their star assets, with Hall joined by Sam Nombe and Lenny Agbaire also attracting suitors since the end of the campaign.
For the Dutch right-back, Preston North End are believed to be interested in securing a deal over the coming weeks after previously pursuing the 24-year-old in the January window, with their plans curtailed by a lengthy hamstring injury.
According to the Rotherham Advertiser, the Lilywhites will have to fork out at least £1 million when the transfer window opens in order to secure Hall, who only arrived in South Yorkshire 12 months ago from Eredivisie side SC Heerenveen.
Other, as yet unnamed, clubs are also weighing up moves for the 24-year-old, but will have to match the Millers’ demands with two years still remaining on his contract.
Rotherham Maximising Profits
With many tough decisions facing them this summer, Denzel Hall could be the crucial factor in how Rotherham United’s summer proceeds.
The 24-year-old has proved himself to be a promising player in the EFL, and his efforts in a dire campaign has rightly earned him suitors such as Preston North End.
Selling him for a good price will be able to fund a major shake-up in the playing squad for the Millers, especially after the criticism that some players have had levelled at them by interim manager Lee Clark.
However, no business can continue until a new manager or director of football has been put in place, and the new chief at the New York Stadium may indeed opt to retain their star full-back.
No decision seems to be close when it comes to installing a new head coach, and while rumours of Steve McClaren taking an off-field role continue, it will be some time before a decision is reached over Hall’s future.
