Scotland may have a generational talent in their ranks.
Lennon Miller, 18, has caught the eye of the footballing world for his mature performances.
These have made him one of Scotland’s most exciting young players and one of Europe’s most promising talents.
Scottish football has received bad publicity recently, with its top clubs failing to give talented youngsters the minutes they require in their first team to establish themselves as top-level professionals.
Much of this criticism is harsh as the competitive nature of the Scottish top flight means that it’s difficult to give young players the time to develop when every game matters.
Yet Motherwell knew they had a talent ready to make the leap that very few have or are making in Scottish football.
Six days after turning 16, Lennon Miller became Motherwell’s youngest player in 2022.
Having attended Well’s academy since the age of eight, this was a special moment for the North Lanarkshire club.
The midfielder has established himself as a key component of The Steelemen and is now being watched by some of the biggest clubs in Britain.
So what makes him special?
