Interest in yet another Rotherham United player. And how much the Millers want for him
ROTHERHAM United will demand a seven-figure fee for Denzel Hall when clubs make their move for the sought-after defender.
He is poised to be wanted man in the summer transfer window and the Millers have no intention of letting him leave on the cheap
The Dutch right-back moved to AESSEAL New York Stadium from Eredivisie side Herenveen last July and his form was one of the few highlights in a campaign that brought relegation to League Two.
He had admirers in his first year in S60 and there would have been bids for him in January had he not suffered a hamstring hamstring early in the new year that sidelined him for three months.
Championship Preston North End were among his suitors then and their interest hasn't gone away.
A sale at around the £1-million mark would represent great business for Rotherham who spotted his talent through recruitment chief Rob Scott's work in the Netherlands.
They paid no initial fee when the player arrived and have since had to give Herenveen an appearance-based sum that ran only into five figures.
In 31 outings Hall has scored three goals and has looked equally as good at wing-back as he has as a full-back.
Teams other than Preston are keen on acquiring his services and a move would make sense for Rotherham who could use the proceeds of any deal to fund recruitment of their own.
It would also appeal to the player who is plainly too good for the fourth tier and would suffer a substantial drop in salary if he remained for the 2026/27 campaign at a lower level.
He has two years left on his New York contract so the Millers are in a strong bargaining position.
Hall, who is close to a first international call-up from Jamaica for whom he qualifies through his ancestry, made his comeback in April and appeared in five matches before the close of the season.
He isn't the only Rotherham man in other clubs' sights as striker Sam Nombe and centre-half Lenny Agbaire are also attracting attention from elsewhere.
