"We are very close to adding a wide player to the squad,"

Millwall boss Neil Harris is poised to announce his first signing of the summer with Southend winger David Worrall in the frame.

The 26-year-old wideman has come to the end of a two-year deal at Roots Hall so would arrive at The Den on a free transfer.

Harris said yesterday he was closing in on a midfielder.

"We are very close to adding a wide player to the squad," said the Den boss. "It will be important to get that done, so hopefully it can be announced soon.

"There will be an attacking element to the players I want to bring in and that is key for the fan base to see that we are going to try and score a lot of goals."

Harris lives only a few hundred yards from Roots Hall and has kept a close eye on Worrall’s progress since he joined the Shrimpers from Rotherham in 2014.

The former West Brom ace played in both games for Phil Brown’s side against Millwall last season - the 2-0 Southend win at The Den and their 4-0 defeat by the Lions, where he was taken off at half-time.
