  "account": "Femi Azeez, the Nigerian winger with Millwall, has been selected in the PFA Championship Team of the Year for his outstanding performances during the 2025/26 season. The Manchester Opera House hosted the ceremony where he was honored alongside other top performers in the division. Azeez's rise to prominence came after a crucial breakthrough campaign where he contributed 11 goals and eight assists in 35 Championship appearances, helping Millwall finish third and secure a place in the promotion play-offs. His impressive form has not only made him a key player for Millwall but also caught the attention of other clubs, including West Ham United, who are now in the race to sign him. The 25-year-old, who joined Millwall from Reading in 2024, has expressed his ambition to play in the Premier League and Millwall's failure to secure promotion has only increased speculation over his future. Aston Villa and Hull City have also shown interest in the winger, setting the stage for a fierce battle for his signature before the transfer window closes.",
  "summary": "With 19 goals contributions (11 goals and eight assists) in what was generally agreed to be his breakthrough season with Millwall, it therefore came as a little surprise as Super Eagles",
