BY KAI BENNETT

Millwall are reportedly interested in a move for KV Kortrijk striker Pape Habib Gueye.

The 22-year-old has scored six goals in 18 appearances for the Belgian top-tier club this season.

Football Insider are reporting that the Lions are keen on a move for the striker, but face competition from Premier League side Watford.

They adds that the South London club are in the market for a new frontman this month.

Gueye came through the Académie Darou Salam academy before making a move to Aalesunds in 2018.

He scored 25 goals in 55 appearances for the Norwegian side during a year-long spell in Scandinavia.

In 2020 the former Senegalese U20 international moved to Belgium and has helped guide them to eighth in the Belgian Pro League.
