Theres been some bids on him recently, and its something the board is working with. Im trying with the staff here to get the team ready for Saturday, so its going on in the background and will probably intensify in the coming days, Askou told Sky Sports News.

Who knows how long its going to take. Theres been a lot of speculation, a lot of rumours, a lot of interest in him for a long time and of course its intensifying now. Obviously theres a high probability that he will move this summer.

Nothing is finalised yet, but obviously theres concrete things going on, which we expected at the moment. Miller is yet to make a competitve appearance for the Lanarkshire club this season, with injury keeping in out of their Scottish League Cup group matches.

Its going to be interesting to see how its all turning out., but for now hes still a Motherwell player and hes doing his best to get back to full training, Askou added. Well see if we see him on the pitch again or not, but were trying our best to get him ready.

From next season, Sky Sports Premier League coverage will increase from 128 matches to at least 215 games exclusively live. And 80 per cent of all televised Premier League games next season are on Sky Sports.
