The Liverpool-owned winger joined the Millwall on loan for the remainder of the 2021-2022 season, with the deal completed just before the 2300 hours deadline on Tuesday, August 31.
Speaking to millwallfc.co.uk on his first day of training, the Liverpool man expressed his desire to play football and help the team in any way he can between now and May 2022.
"It's my first day here and all the boys have been very welcoming," he said. "I've spoken to the gaffer briefly as well and he has said positive things, so it's been a good day and I'm looking forward to it.
"We spoke on the phone [before the move] and he said he really likes me as a player and has watched me for a couple of years now. He said he wants to give me the platform to express myself and show what I can do. The most important thing for me is to play football and show what I can do, and I'm thankful to Millwall who have given me the platform to do that."
