Millwall are interested in signing Nottingham Forest striker Marlon King. The powerful former Gillingham striker would be a good acquisition for the Lions if they can tie up a deal. Obviously, Millwall boss Steve Claridge knows a good striker when he sees one, having been a goal poacher himself.
King's been no stranger to controversy off the field, so people will say this could be a marriage made in heaven if he comes to the Den.
It's a big "if" though, as Millwall will probably try to get King on loan, or with Forest paying a chunk of his wages - a bit like Leeds did to offload Robbie Fowler to Man City.
Watford are also interested, so don't be surprised if King ends up a Vicarage Road.
