Brighton secure Femi Azeez after standout Championship campaign

Azeez joined Millwall from Reading in August 2024 for around £1 million, and his two-year spell at the club saw him develop into one of their most important attacking players. His biggest impact came during the 2025/26 season.

The winger finished the campaign with 11 goals and seven assists, playing a major role in Millwall’s push towards the promotion playoffs. His performances also earned him a place in the Championship Team of the Season, recognition of just how influential he had become.

Brighton will be hoping to see those qualities translate to the Premier League. Azeez brings pace, directness, energy and an eye for goal, while his ability to operate from wide positions gives Brighton another attacking option. He is also capable of carrying the ball forward and creating opportunities rather than simply waiting for them to come his way.

The transfer represents an impressive return on Millwall’s investment. They paid £1 million to bring Azeez to the club and are now set to receive more than £12.5 million upfront, with the possibility of the deal rising above £15 million.
