Whitbread: The Million pound defender
West Bromwich Albion have reputedly tested Millwall's resolve with an offer of £1 million for defender Zak Whitbread.

According to a snippet in today's Sun newspaper the Premiership outfit are hoping to tempt The Lions with an early bird offer in order to avoid a bidding war come January, with Everton also said to be interested.

However, with Kenny Jackett's men sitting pretty in the play-off zone for League One, the Millwall board will be keen to keep hold of the American defender at least until the end of the season.
