Brighton & Hove Albion Pursues Femi Azeez Transfer
Brighton & Hove Albion has entered the race to sign Nigerian forward Femi Azeez as they aim to bolster their attacking lineup ahead of the new season. The club is monitoring Azeez, who currently plays for Millwall, while Hull City is also interested in acquiring him.
Brighton's interest follows their recent signing of Nigerian player Zadok Yohanna from AIK in June. Azeez had a standout 2025/26 season, scoring 11 goals and providing seven assists, which led to his selection in the PFA Championship Team of the Season and a call-up to the Nigerian national team.
He made an impactful debut for Nigeria, scoring twice in the semi-final of the 2026 Unity Cup. Millwall has rejected an offer from Ipswich Town for Azeez, and manager Alex Neil has indicated that Azeez could leave if their asking price is met before the transfer window closes.
Azeez started the new Championship season against Bristol City but suffered a hamstring injury after 30 minutes.
