3 strikers Millwall could target this summer as Parma swoop for Mihailo Ivanović.
Millwall will need to keep an eye on strikers who they could sign in the next few weeks, as they have received an approach from Serie A side Parma for Mihailo Ivanovic.
The Serbian joined the Lions last summer in a deal worth £2.8m from Vojvodina, and scored 13 goals in 40 appearances across all competitions in his first season in England.
This caught the interest of Premier League outfits Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers, according to Football Insider. However, another interested party has sent a formal approach to the London-based side.
Football Insider's Pete O'Rourke revealed on Sunday that Serie A side Parma had sent an approach to Millwall, as they look to find a replacement for Ange-Yoan Bonny, who joined Inter earlier in the transfer window for €23 million.
With interest in the 20-year-old hotting up, Football League World looked at THREE potential replacements Millwall could sign, should Ivanovic depart The Den this summer.

The future of Wycombe Wanderers breakthrough star Richard Kone seems like a never-ending story, with constant rumblings of the striker being linked with plenty of Championship clubs over the last six months.
Clearly one of the highest-rated strikers in the EFL right now, Millwall could pull off an incredible coup by winning the race to sign the Ivorian, as they look to replace their young prodigy.
At 21 years of age, Kone offers a player with a similar ceiling to Ivanovic, and also shares many of the same qualities that make the Serbian a threat, possessing good strength, off the ball movement, and a great burst of pace.
It's understood that Wycombe value their star striker at around £12m, which is a hefty price to pay.
However, we've seen already that the Lions aren't afraid to splash the cash with their £5m signing of Josh Coburn, and the Chairboys may be more negotiable with their price-tag.
Another one of the best strikers in League One last term was Charlie Kelman. The American scored 23 times whilst on loan at Leyton Orient last term, but his future at parent club QPR also remains uncertain.
The striker has never really hit the ground running at Loftus Road, which has led to some speculation that the R's might be tempted to let him depart the club if the right offer comes in.
Millwall should certainly capitalise on their London rivals' predicament and look to bring Kelman to The Den, should Ivanovic depart.
He would likely come much cheaper than Kone, and has a better strike rate than the Ivorian based on last season.
In comparison to Ivanovic, the 23-year-old still has high potential, and is a mobile striker with a brilliant eye for goal, who thrives in a pressing system.
Kelman will be keen to get his shot at the Championship, and being the main man at Millwall would be an excellent opportunity.
The final player Millwall should look at hasn't proven to be the most prolific goalscorer ever so far in his young career, but teenager Jeff Ekhator has already gained considerable experience in Serie A last season, playing 24 matches and scoring a single goal.
Two years younger than Ivanovic, Ekhator may have an even higher potential than the Serbian.
He's also a very physical forward who possesses incredible athleticism and pace at such a young age, causing defenders a real headache.
Whilst the Italian's current output isn't incredible, Millwall have a good track record at nurturing young, powerful forwards, and the return on investment if they got Ekhator firing could be game-changing for the club in a few years time.
