Millwall boss Mark Mcghee will once again give youth a chance as he is going to give Cherno Samba a crack at first team football at The New Den.

Anybody out there that has played Championship Manager on your PC will have made Cherno Samba one of your first signings, and Millwall boss Mark Mcghee will be hoping the youngster is as good in real life as he is outstanding on the computer.

Samba 16 , will follow team mate Moses Ashikodi 15 , into the first team squad and it looks like the future at Millwall is going to be a exciting one.

Ashikodi became Millwall's youngest player to play for the Lions , when he came on as a subsitute against Brighton at the weekend , and now the Championship Manager whizkid has a chance to becoame a star in the mold of Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen.

Millwall boss Mark Mcghee said "Moses is bursting with energy and he put himself ahead of one or two others who are next in line. We want to give Cherno Samba a chance."

"Before the end of the season, we want to give our youngsters a flavour of the first team."

"We want them to be pushing for a place in the side by the time next season starts and now is the time to find out about them." Mcghee added
