The Lions are not willing to let him go as they are still hoping he will extend at the end of the season and rate him as a key player that could lead them to the play-offs.

The winger has attracted interest from Besiktas as well as Championship rivals Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough.

All the aforementioned suitors have already tried to sign him in January but had their initial bids turned down.

Sources recently suggested there may soon be interest from the Premier League as well, with reports suggesting Leeds and Watford are keeping tabs.

People close to the 27-year-old believe Millwall will ultimately give in and let him go by the end of the transfer window.

Wallace is very keen to leave for a new challenge but hasn’t put in a transfer request yet.
