Lions pounce for N'Guessan

N'Guessan: Joined Millwall on permanent deal from Leicester

Millwall have captured the permanent signing of Dany N'Guessan from Championship rivals Leicester.

The 24-year-old forward joined the Lions on a six-month loan deal earlier this month and scored in the Carling Cup against Plymouth before picking up a hamstring injury in the Championship win over Nottingham Forest.

This form has earned the French ace a three-year deal at The Den and he has signed for an undisclosed fee.

Relishing the opportunity of staying on with the Lions, N'Guessan told the club's official website: "I'm very pleased to have joined the team because I have enjoyed it here so far.

Shown faith

"The manager has shown faith in me and I think I can do well here. I hope to do that and help Millwall up the table."

He added: "I was very pleased with my start here and I hope to pick up where I left off. I have already scored one goal and hopefully there are more coming. I want to score as many as I can. I want to do well in every game I play.

"I think we have a great squad and there is a really good atmosphere within the group. There are no big players on big money.

"The focus is on having a good team with a strong spirit and that will help a lot with what we want to do. I really think we can do something this season."
