Super Eagles Forward, Femi Azeez, Seals Record £15m Move to Brighton
Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion have agreed a deal to sign Super Eagles forward Femi Azeez from EFL Championship side Millwall. According to BBC Sport, Brighton have reached an agreement
Brighton & Hove Albion have successfully secured the signature of Super Eagles forward Femi Azeez from Millwall for a record fee of £15 million (approximately ₦27 billion), as reported by BBC Sport. The deal, reached on transfer deadline day, consists of an initial £12.5 million with an additional £2.5 million in add-ons, marking a significant sale for Millwall and surpassing the fee paid by Crystal Palace for winger Romain Esse in the summer of 2024.
The 25-year-old winger had been a target for Hull City and Aston Villa earlier in the summer, but Brighton's late bid proved decisive. Azeez, who had previously played for Reading, made an impressive 2025-26 season, scoring 11 goals and providing seven assists across all competitions while helping Millwall reach the Championship playoff semi-finals.
Millwall profited significantly from the transfer, having acquired Azeez from Reading for a mere £1 million in 2024.
