18-year-old Star has emerged as one of the most exciting talents in Scottish football, with Liverpool in the race to sign the Motherwell teenager
Several elite teams from the UK and Europe are keeping a close eye on the 18-year-old virtuoso, who has been a mainstay for the Scottish Premiership team this season. Liverpool is interested in signing Miller.
With Miller noted already as being a ‘generational talent’, Liverpool could do well in landing the teenage prospect as a future midfield option, with the Scotland youth international making the right amount of noise north of the border.
Yet Miller’s father, former Scotland international Lee Miller, has now advised where his son should move next year.
Speaking on The Warm-Up, the former Aberdeen striker urged his son to join a club where he will not be stuck in the U-23s and will actually be a regular with the first-team, something Liverpool might not be able to offer for Miller in 2025.
Miller senior said: “For me, my advice to Lennon is you need to be playing. His next move is so important to play and develop. He doesn’t want to go and play in the U-23s and build himself up, he’s a first-team player now. People are respecting him for that, his team-mates are respecting him for that so it is a difficult one.
“He’s loving playing at Motherwell but it will eventually come when he has to go to further his career. There are massive clubs, it’s over the media the clubs are interested. We bounce ideas off each other and have a laugh. It’s not as easy as saying this big club is in for you, we’ll go there.
There are so many layers – the manager, the ethos, the style of play, the environment has to be right. It’s a difficult one but if it does come to that, you weigh up the pros and cons, meet people and see how it goes from there.”
Liverpool have had quite a good run of late of signing Scottish talents in Ben Doak and Calvin Ramsay, though after his father’s latest comments, Miller might not be continuing the trend for the Reds in 2025.
After all, although Miller has played a lot of football since breaking into Motherwell’s first-team as a 16-year-old, the odds of the midfielder being a senior player for Liverpool if signed are slim, with the gap in quality to the SPL and Premier League as big as it has ever been.
Moreover, Scottish players have found plenty of luck in recent years taking their talents abroad, and a move to Italy or Spain to a top-flight side could be appealing for Miller, especially of the promise of first-team football is made.
