Gary Rowett asked if Millwall will pursue deal for Barnsley loanee Callum Styles

Millwall manager Gary Rowett has discussed the future of Barnsley loanee Callum Styles.

The Hungarian international, 23, joined the Lions at the start of September.

The South London Press has reported before that there is a release fee inserted in Styles’ contract, with the player penning a new long-term deal until 2025 before he was allowed to leave the League One outfit.

Styles played 22 times for Millwall – 12 of those starts – but also missed around three months of the campaign with a quad injury.

“First and foremost he is not our player, so of course there is going to be an element of what his parent club want to do,” Rowett told the South London Press, when asked about whether the Lions would pursue a deal.

“Stylesy has had a bit of a broken season because of the main injury after Christmas. We were just starting to see him have a good effect on the team before that in different positions – central midfield, a little wider and coming in and as a left wing-back. He’s a very versatile player. In the end he is probably going to end up a little more central, that is where he plays for his international team.

“He’s a really good player, a technically talented player and he is a good character. I think he’s really enjoyed it.

“It is going to depend on his parent club’s intentions and any sort of valuation on the player. That’s probably as far as I can go (talking about him).

“He’s a good player and definitely one you’d look at for the long term, whether that is financially viable is out of my hands.

“I’ve enjoyed working with Stylesy. I’m probably a little bit disappointed that I couldn’t work with him for the whole season and really try and see his full potential.”
