Millwall boss Kenny Jackett says he could be interested in signing current loanee Liam Trotter and his Blues team-mate Kevin Lisbie in the summer. Trotter has been a key man in Millwall’s push up League One in the second half of the season, while the Lions were amongst the clubs chasing Lisbie, who is currently on loan at Colchester, during the January transfer window.

Jackett says he would like Trotter to stay at the Den beyond the end of his loan spell: “Liam’s made a good impression. I would like to see him here next season. He has done well, as have our other loan players, Shaun Batt and Jon Obika.

“Liam is a young player looking for a chance to show what he can do and we have given him that platform.”

Trotter, 21, is out of contract this summer and appears likely to move on with his chances having been limited at Portman Road since he lost his place in the side in October. In January he rejoined Millwall — who he was previously on loan with in 2006 - for the remainder of the season and has helped them to second in League One.

Lisbie has another year on his contract with Town but appears unlikely to play for the club again. Prior to the January transfer window boss Roy Keane revealed that the Blues had received interest in the striker from various clubs with Southampton amongst those targeting the 31-year-old, the Saints eventually opting to sign Southend’s Lee Barnard instead.

Jackett says the London-based former Jamaica international is on his list of summer options: “We will have to see what happens with Kevin Lisbie.

“My scouts are looking at the market for me and we need to know who is out of contract and available. We contacted Ipswich when we had a lot of players out injured, but since then others have come in or come back and got fit.”

Meanwhile, Newcastle have announced that they have sold out of tickets for Town’s final away game of the season at St James’ Park on April 24th. The already-promoted Magpies hope that the match will see them break their own record Championship attendance of 49,644 set when the played Middlesbrough earlier in the season.

WadzillaBhoy added 19:04 - Apr 13 I always liked Trotter wish him every success Old and Blue- Lee Martin is still young he will be good, he'll play a big part next season. Healy is only on loan with us, so they'd still be signing him from Sunderland.

whymark4lazio0 added 23:04 - Apr 13 I'm amazed at some of the Trotter comments above most can be summed up as "He's not good enough for us". If we were top half of the Premiership I would agree. But lets look at the facts- he's only 21, he only played a dozen games for us at the beginning of the season, Roy Keane must have seen something in him to have him play in his (RK's) poistion for that run of games, he helped Scunnie win promotion- and they wanted to sign him, he looks like doing the same for Millwall and they want him. I know he didn't exactly set the world alight in those 12 games (he is only 21 and plays in a very demanding position)- but was he really given a fair crack of the whip by Town fans? I'd be amazed if RK lets him go- unless Millwall make a very good offer. For all Rhodes fans- are you sure that Trotter hasn't done as much for Millwall as Rhodes has for Huddersfield?

tractorboybig added 09:02 - Apr 14 I am amazed at the comments trotter is not good enough for us. Who are we? A struggling championship side that is outclassed by Peterborough scunthorpe and plymouth to name a few. Some of you supporters live in cloud cookco land.

Yallop added 13:30 - Apr 14 Trotter was hauled off at half time last night for Millwall. He was extremely poor in opening 14 games that we didn't win this season. Magic gave him a run last season and again dropped him and moved him out. Time to let him go.
