Japhet Tanganga Wants to Rejoin Millwall

Japhet Tanganga has expressed his determination to make a successful transition to Millwall after being released by Tottenham Hotspur this summer. The centre-back, who had a challenging loan spell at Augsburg and limited appearances for Spurs, is focused on playing regularly in the Championship. Despite interest from Premier League clubs, Tanganga opted for a permanent move to Millwall, where he hopes to help the team achieve a higher finish than last season and secure a spot in the play-offs or automatic promotion. Reflecting on his time at Tottenham, Tanganga acknowledged the emotional weight of leaving a club where he had spent much of his youth. He emphasized that while the decision to move on was difficult, it was necessary for his career progression. Tanganga noted that he does not harbor regrets about his time at Spurs, despite the challenges he faced, including injuries that limited his playing time. A significant factor in Tanganga's decision to join Millwall was the strong connection he felt with the club's fanbase. He is eager to contribute to the team's success and is looking forward to the upcoming season, although he will begin with a three-match ban. Millwall's season opener against Watford will also serve as a tribute to goalkeeper Matija Sarkic, who tragically passed away in June at the age of 26. As Tanganga prepares for the new season, he remains optimistic about the potential for Millwall to build on last year's performance, stating that the atmosphere at The Den will be a motivating factor for the players.
