Millwall will be looking to have a positive summer transfer window to try and put together a squad that is going to be capable of getting them into the play-off places in the Sky Bet Championship next season.

The Lions once again went close to finishing inside the top six in 21/22 but could not get over the line and so Gary Rowett will be looking at where he can improve his squad where possible.

That said, then, he might be looking at Premier League squads and trying to find an opportunity to bring in some players on loan that can supplement the squad and help it along, as we have seen on several occasions in the past at the New Den.

With that in mind, then, we're taking a look at 8 players who he might think are worth considering for a loan deal in the coming transfer window this summer...

Troy Parrott spent time on loan at Millwall back in 2020 but it was a frustrating period for him that was punctuated by injury issues as he joined from Tottenham Hotspur.

He has since played for Ipswich Town and MK Dons on loan, though, and at MK he had a fine spell so perhaps now he is ready to be playing Championship football?

Ultimately, Gary Rowett will decide if he wants to revisit this one but it might be worth it.

Ryan Giles is up next on our list, with him currently on the books at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Giles is a player that has great quality and he showed that during a loan spell with Cardiff City earlier on in the season, before also moving to Blackburn Rovers for the second half of the campaign.

It's clear he has Championship experience, then, and he might be able to add a bit of quality and guile to Millwall's team.

Ian Poveda is the next man on our list with him another player that could add some spark to the final third for the men from the New Den.

Poveda played a good part in Blackburn Rovers' challenge for the play-offs this season and so he knows what to expect from a top six challenge in the Sky Bet Championship.

Leeds may well want to keep him around if they end up getting relegated but if they stay up he's worth considering.

Theo Corbeanu played for Sheffield Wednesday and MK Dons in the Sky Bet League One season, and he is a player that could now be ready to step up to the Sky Bet Championship.

He's on the books at Wolverhampton Wanderers and the Old Gold are naturally watching his progress closely as they try to decide whether he is going to be good enough for them.

Sending him to the Championship to find out could benefit them and Millwall with that said, then.

Gavin Bazunu is a goalkeeper that looks set for big things and Manchester City will surely be eager to get him out to the Sky Bet Championship next season to see what he can do.

He's a young stopper that showed immense class for Portsmouth in Sky Bet League One and looks ready for the step up.

Bart Bialkowski obviously stands in his way but signing Bazunu on loan could be good for Millwall overall as both men will be pushing each other along considerably.

Cole Palmer is another player on the books of Manchester City that might well be of interest to Championship sides this season.

He's a midfielder and, given City's options in that area, you simply have to be world class to be getting into their team.

Palmer's route to the first-team there appears blocked for now, then, and so a loan move to show what he can do in the senior game appears the best option for him.

Folarin Balogun is a player that we've seen in the Sky Bet Championship already with him spending time on loan at Middlesbrough for the second half of the campaign.

He is a player where we perhaps only saw flashes of what he can do for Boro but that suggests that at the right club he could really flourish at this level.

Millwall look in need of attacking options so this is certainly one worth closer research.

Elliot Anderson had a fine season on loan at Bristol Rovers from Newcastle United as he helped the Gas, dramatically, win promotion from the fourth tier on the final day of the regular season.

That said, then, he could be ready for a step up a division or two and Championship football might well appeal to him - particularly if the route to first-team action on Tyneside is blocked by them having a big summer window.

Certainly, Anderson is a player that many sides, including Millwall, should be looking at this summer.
