Benicio Baker-Boaitey had has experience of Premier League football with Brighton

Millwall have signed Brighton and Hove Albion winger Benicio Baker-Boaitey for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old is the sixth new player to move to The Den during the winter transfer window and has signed what the club describe as a "long-term contract".

The England youth international came up through the academy at Portuguese side Porto before moving to Brighton in 2022.

He spent the first half of this season on loan at Port Vale where he made 14 appearances and featured five times as a substitute in the Premier League last season for the Seagulls.

"He is an exciting winger who will add plenty of pace and skill to the squad, which will get fans off their seats," director of football Steve Gallen told the Millwall website.

"Benicio has already gained some key experience in the Premier League with Brighton and Hove Albion, as well as testing himself out on loan in League Two with Port Vale.

"He'll link up with Alex Neil and the first-team squad immediately which, like Ajay Matthews, will be hugely beneficial to his development."
