Burnley is considering making a move for 24 year old star of Millwall.
Prior to their return to the Premier League, the Clarets have reportedly set their sights on the Dutchman, according to Football Insider.
Given Burnley’s interest, how much should Millwall value Zian Flemming?
Here, we seek the opinions of our FLW writers on whether the Lions should make a profit on the 24-year-old.
If they decide to sell Flemming to Burnley, they can be confident that they will receive a decent return on their investment because he has proven to be an excellent Millwall signing.
Although he might not have the deep passing range to be regarded as a more complete attacking midfielder, his ball-striking ability and eye for goal from the edge of the box make him a valuable asset.
Flemming should cost Millwall anywhere between £10 and $15 million. His track record of unconventional aims is sufficient to justify such a premium tag.
Of course, should they decide to cash in, that sum of money could be beneficial in enhancing numerous aspects of their team.
Millwall should be looking at close to the £10-15 million mark for Flemming. His repertoire of goals from outside the box is enough to earn him a price tag such as that.
Of course, that sort of money could be useful in improving multiple areas of their squad, should they cash-in.
However, they should be trying to reject all bids for the 24-year-old, given that he is their star player, unless something towards the top end of his valuation comes in and is simply too much to turn down.
Naturally, every player has a price, but Millwall should stand firm for their star man and look to build the team around him for another promotion push next season.
There were concerns at Millwall last year when Jed Wallace was allowed to walk away for nothing, but Flemming took the attacking responsibility that Wallace’s departure left in the team.
The forward scored 15 and assisted three in his first Championship season with the club, earning him plenty of plaudits for his impact in the side.
It comes as no surprise that a side like Burnley have made him a potential transfer target as a result.
However, Millwall will want to hold onto him so will have to make it as hard as they can for the Clarets to seal the deal.
That will require setting a high valuation close to the £15 million mark.
But even then, his importance to the squad could see the London club turn down that kind of figure in favour of keeping him for another campaign.
