Femi Azeez has joined Brighton on a four-year deal. The transfer was completed after both clubs submitted a deal sheet ahead of the 11pm deadline on Monday, with the window extended until 1am on Tuesday to allow the formalities to be concluded, according to Premium Times.
Azeez, a 25-year-old Nigeria international, joined Brighton from Millwall. He made 77 appearances for Millwall, scoring 15 goals and providing 13 assists. According to Daily Post Nigeria, Azeez had an excellent season with Millwall, playing a key role as they finished in the play-offs, and was named in both the PFA and the EFL’s Championship teams of the season for the 2025/26 campaign.
The Chronicle Ghana reported that Millwall rejected at least three bids from Brighton before agreeing to sell Azeez for an initial £12.5m, potentially rising to £15m with add-ons, which would be a club record sale for Millwall. Azeez joined Millwall from Reading in 2024 for about £1m.
