Super Eagles winger Femi Azeez has completed his move to Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion from Championship side Millwall, Trybal News reports.
Brighton confirmed the transfer on Wednesday, with the Nigerian international signing a four-year contract. The club did not disclose the transfer fee.
The move was concluded after Brighton and Millwall submitted a deal sheet before the 11pm deadline, extending the window until 1am to allow the transfer to be completed.
Azeez arrives at Brighton following an impressive 2025/26 campaign with Millwall, where he played a key role in the Lions push for promotion and earned selection in both the PFA Championship Team of the Season and the EFL Championship Team of the Season.
Brighton sporting director Mike Cave welcomed the Nigerian’s arrival, describing him as one of the Championship’s most exciting attacking talents.
We are delighted to add Femi to the squad. He arrives off the back of an excellent season with Millwall, having played a key role for them as they finished in the playoffs,” Cave said.
He was one of the most exciting attacking talents in the Championship. We’re delighted to have finally agreed his transfer, and we now look forward to working with him.”
Azeez joined Millwall from Reading in 2024 after beginning his career in the Watford youth system. He subsequently played non-league football with Northwood, Wealdstone and Hanwell Town before joining Reading in 2019.
His impressive form at club level earned him a senior international call-up with Nigeria.
Azeez made a memorable Super Eagles debut in June, scoring both goals in Nigeria’s 2-0 victory over Zimbabwe. He followed that performance by providing an assist in the Super Eagles’ 3-0 win over Jamaica four days later as Nigeria won the 2026 Unity Cup.
The move to Brighton marks a significant step in Azeez’s career, taking him from the lower levels of English football to the Premier League and giving him the opportunity to compete at the highest level of the English game.
