  "account": "Brighton & Hove Albion have agreed to a £15 million deal to sign Nigerian winger Femi Azeez from Millwall, according to PUNCH Sports Extra. The 25-year-old is set to undergo a medical ahead of the transfer, which would see the club pay a transfer fee of £12.5 million and £2.5 million in performance-related add-ons. Millwall has reportedly given Azeez permission to complete the medical process. The winger, who previously played for Reading, had a stellar 2025/26 season with 11 goals and 8 assists in 35 Championship appearances. His performance earned him spots in the Championship Team of the Year and PFA Team of the Year. Azeez also made his debut for Nigeria and scored twice against Zimbabwe in the Unity Cup. Millwall acquired Azeez from Reading for around £1 million in 2024, making his move to Brighton a profitable venture for the Championship club.",
