Brighton Intensifies Bid for Millwall Winger Femi Azeez

Brighton and Hove Albion are actively pursuing Millwall winger Femi Azeez, aiming to finalize a deal before the transfer deadline on Tuesday at 11pm. The Seagulls have submitted two formal bids, the latest exceeding £10 million, which Millwall considers inadequate for the 25-year-old player.

Millwall remains firm in negotiations, believing they hold a strong position, especially with interest from Hull City and various European clubs. Azeez had a notable 2025-26 season with Millwall, scoring 11 goals and providing eight assists, which earned him a spot in the PFA Championship Team of the Year.

He made his Nigeria debut in May, scoring twice in a semi-final match against an unspecified opponent and assisting in the final against Jamaica. Brighton's commitment to improving their offer indicates their high regard for Azeez, while the outcome of negotiations with Millwall remains uncertain as the transfer deadline approaches.
