The 22-year-old O’Brien has scored nine goals for the Lions already this season - the latest of which coming in their thrilling 5-3 win at Plymouth Arygle in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy a few weeks ago.

His scintillating form, which included a wonderful hat-trick at Crewe Alexandra back in September, has gained the player a list of admirers, and it appears that Millwall would consider half a million pounds for the young forward.

It is also believed that a number of Football League clubs, including Championship duo Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers, are keen on the Irish Under-21 international, so it appears that Alan Pardew's Eagles have stiff competition to secure the youngster's services.

O'Brien has worked his way up from the youth ranks at the Den, but also had prior experience in the Football League before breaking through into the Millwall first team, including spells at Staines Town, Hayes and Yeading, Crawley Town, Aldershot Town and, most recently, Torquay United, where he spent a month in 2014.

O'Brien form has not gone un-noticed either, as he was named the Sky Bet League One Player of the Month for October which helped build the 22-year-old's ever-increasing reputation.

 

It is yet to be seen as to whether or not losing O’Brien would damage the Lions chances for a promotion push, but if a deal was on the table from the Premier League, the temptation may be too big to turn down for both the club and the forward.
