JOE Edwards has revealed his plan to make sure Zian Flemming is as involved as possible in Millwall’s attacking moves.
The 25-year-old has 19 goals and five assists from his 60 Millwall appearances since arriving from Fortuna Sittard in the summer of 2022.
The Dutchman has been revelation for the club since joining and Edwards is keen to make sure that Flemming remains at the centre of what the Lions do going forward.
The new boss told Millwall TV: “Zian’s a key player, I think he’d be a key player in a lot of Championship teams. Firstly, when you talk about goals, goals are so crucial to any team. You see it with teams at the very highest-level. Goals are crucial and you can talk about ideas of how to create goals, but if you have players with a proven track record then it’s massive.
“You only have to look at Zian’s numbers from last year and the amount of goals and the type of goals he scored. Getting him good quality service of the ball in the middle of the pitch so he’s got people around him who he can link up with, but ultimately so we can attack as a team and progress collectively so that it’s not fast, hopeful attacks, [but] that we get him around those areas where he can impact the game more often and as much as possible.”
