Millwall's new midfield signing Mathis Servais says he is ready to make the step up to the intensity of the Championship.

The 21-year-old, who has joined from Belgian Pro League side KV Mechelen, scored in the Lions' first pre-season friendly - a 2-1 defeat by FC Andorra.

"I think as you've seen (on Tuesday), I've got a good left foot, I can make the difference by runs," Servais told BBC Radio London.

"I give everything, every game I'm fighting. I'm good on the ball, I can create chances. I'm good at build-up, so I can do a bit of everything. I hope I can show my qualities a lot this season."

Servais said he knows the Championship is a "very difficult league with a lot of intensity" and that he will have to play more matches than in Belgium.

"That's why I'm happy I'm here fast because I need time to get used to it. But I don't think it will be a big problem for me," he said.

"A lot of people told me if you can play well in the Championship you can play well everywhere.

"That's why I also wanted to come here. If I do well here, it means I can play well everywhere. It will be a big challenge for me, but I'm ready for it."

Millwall were just one point short of automatic promotion to the Premier League last season before losing to Hull City in the play-off semi-finals.

Servais said it is "too early" to speak about whether the club can replicate their push for promotion again in the forthcoming campaign.

"I think the most important is to stay the most consistent in the season and then it will come by itself," he added.

Millwall goalkeeper Lukas Jensen says he "can't describe" the feeling of returning to full fitness after overcoming two serious injuries that kept him sidelined for more than a year.

The 26-year-old tore his Achilles in the 2024-25 season before suffering a quad injury in December last year during the final stages of his rehabilitation, delaying his return to first-team action.

"It's a feeling I can't describe," Jensen told the club website, external. "I've been waiting for this moment for well over a year now."

Jensen admitted the road back had tested him both physically and mentally, particularly after suffering a second injury just as he was nearing a return.

"That was the hardest part," he said. "I could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and then, 21 days before the physio could clear me, I picked up another injury - and it was a rather big one."

Despite the setbacks, the Dane says the experience has changed his perspective.

"It's been a rollercoaster. It's been up and down, but I've learnt so much about my body.

"I can look at the positives now and all the things I've learned. Even though it's been tough, we've all come together now. This is just the start.

"When that first league game is over, I think the feeling is going to be even better."

Jensen says he now feels stronger after completing his rehabilitation.

"We expected the Achilles to take a year, and that's what it's taken. The positive is my Achilles got longer, and it was quite a quick rehab. It's been a year where I've had two injuries.

"Now my body feels good again. I can walk with no pain."

The goalkeeper made 43 appearances in all competitions during his first season at Millwall, keeping 14 clean sheets as the Lions narrowly missed out on the Championship play-offs.

Watching from the sidelines was difficult, but Jensen believes the squad can build on last season's progress.

"The team did unbelievably last year, and I hope we can carry that on," he added.

"We have such a good young team and a good gaffer. We want to get promotion.

"It was a joy. I was sat there smiling after every game. It was a great watch."
