Neil Harris and former Millwall boss Gary Rowett both agree that Premier League clubs will have their eyes on Romain Esse. However, Harris emphasizes that Esse’s main goal is to secure a consistent spot in the Millwall lineup this season.
Rowett, who gave Esse his debut at Millwall, praised the young attacker’s talent and potential during a recent Sky Sports appearance. He believes that Esse has the ability to become a superstar but needs to deliver consistent performances on the pitch.
Esse, who is only 19 years old, recently signed a new long-term contract with Millwall and has been a regular starter in the Championship this season. Despite interest from Premier League clubs, Harris is confident in Esse’s mentality and determination to succeed.
Harris highlights Esse’s passion for football and winning, emphasizing that his focus should be on maintaining his place in the team. The manager believes that consistent game time in the Championship is crucial for Esse’s development and future progression.
With Crystal Palace’s sporting director Dougie Freedman in attendance at a recent Millwall match, the speculation around Esse’s future is growing. However, Harris remains focused on nurturing Esse’s talent and helping him reach his full potential.
Overall, Harris is optimistic about Esse’s prospects and believes that the young player has the ability and attitude to excel at the highest level. By staying grounded, working hard, and focusing on his performances for Millwall, Esse can fulfill his dream of playing in the Premier League in the future.
