  "summary": "Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion have agreed to sign Millwall winger Femi Azeez in a deal worth up to £15m, with the Nigerian international undergoing medicals ahead of the move, according to PUNCH Sports Extra. The transfer fee is reported to be £12.5m, with performance-related add-ons bringing the total payout to over £2.5m for Millwall. Azeez, 25, is set to sign a four-year contract with Brighton until June 2030, with an option for an additional year. The winger, who had a standout 2025/26 season scoring 11 goals and providing eight assists in 35 Championship appearances, is expected to earn his debut for Nigeria under coach Eric Chelle. Millwall reportedly paid around £1m for Azeez from Reading in 2024, making the move to Brighton a significant profit for the Championship club.",
