Hull City Targets Femi Azeez for Premier League Squad

Hull City has intensified its pursuit of Nigerian winger Femi Azeez as they prepare for the 2026/27 Premier League season. The club has identified Azeez, who plays for Millwall, as a key transfer target following their promotion.

Hull City aims to finalize a deal before the new season begins, viewing Azeez as a vital addition to their attacking options. Azeez, a two-time Nigeria international, had an impressive 2025/26 season with Millwall, scoring 11 goals and providing eight assists in 33 league starts, earning a spot in the Sky Bet Championship Team of the Season.

Despite Hull City's interest, Millwall is expected to resist any attempts to sign Azeez, having previously rejected a £20 million offer from Ipswich Town. Millwall is in a strong negotiating position as Azeez remains under contract, and they are unlikely to sell unless a substantial offer is made.

Hull City may need to submit an improved bid to secure Azeez before the transfer window closes.
