Millwall transfer target Siyabonga Nomvete has made it clear that he fancies making the switch to south London. Nomevete has described the Lions as a "big football club" and has said he'll feel at home in London as his sister works at Hammersmith hospital.

Millwall transfer target Siyabonga Nomvete has made it clear that he fancies making the switch to south London.

Nomevete has described the Lions as a "big football club" and has said he'll feel at home in London as his sister works at Hammersmith hospital (let's hope QPR don't come knocking on his door then!)

Nomvete's nickname is "Bhele" or "The Bear", so he may quickly gain cult-status in this part of the world as "The Belly"...regardless of whether he's over-weight or not.

Despite the nickname, Nomvete would probably be an excellent acquisition as he proved he can perform on the biggest stage of all, bagging South Africa's only goal in their victory over Slovenia in the World Cup finals of 2002.
