Leeds United’s rising star, 18-year-old forward Charlie Cresswell, has had his loan spell at Championship club Millwall extended after an impressive start to the season. The talented striker, who made a big splash with a series of standout performances, has been instrumental in his temporary side’s attacking play, helping them soar up the table.
Cresswell, who initially joined Millwall on a season-long loan with the goal of gaining more first-team experience, has shown that he is more than ready for the challenges of senior football. With five goals in his first seven appearances, he has already proven his knack for scoring in a variety of ways, from clinical finishes inside the box to headers off set-pieces. His contributions have been crucial to Millwall’s offensive firepower, and he has quickly become a fan favorite at The Den.
Millwall manager Gary Rowett expressed his delight at Cresswell’s progress, praising his work ethic, composure in front of goal, and growing maturity. “Charlie has been fantastic. He’s got all the qualities you want in a young striker—speed, intelligence, and the ability to finish. We’re thrilled to have him here for the rest of the season,” Rowett said.
Leeds United also expressed their satisfaction with the development of their young prospect. Head coach Daniel Farke acknowledged Cresswell’s promising form and believes that his time at Millwall will continue to help him grow as a player. “We are happy with Charlie’s progress. He is gaining valuable experience, and this loan extension is the right step for his development,” Farke commented.
With his loan now extended, Cresswell will look to maintain his red-hot form and continue his journey to becoming a key figure for both Millwall and Leeds United in the years to come
