Millwall sign Middlesbrough striker Matthews

Millwall have signed teenage forward Ajay Matthews from fellow Championship side Middlesbrough for an undisclosed fee.

The 18-year-old has agreed what the Lions say is a "long-term contract" at The Den.

The England Under-17 striker made two substitute appearances in the Championship late last season as well as featuring in Boro's academy team.

"His pressing, aerial threat and the desire to have the ball to feet is impressive and - most importantly - he loves to score goals.
