Brighton have agreed a deal to sign Nigeria winger Femi Azeez from Millwall. His departure will set a club record sale for Millwall, who are initially set to receive £12.5m with the fee potentially rising past £15m including add-ons.
The 25-year-old scored 11 goals and provided eight assists in 37 appearances last season, earning a spot in the PFA Championship team of the year. Azeez had been pushing for a move to the Premier League, after Millwall rejected at least three previous bids from the Seagulls.
Azeez will become Brighton's 11th signing of the summer transfer window. His arrival will facilitate the departure of young winger Amario Cozier-Duberry, who is expected to join Championship side Middlesbrough on loan.
Azeez originally joined Millwall from Reading for about £1m in 2024 and entered the final two years of his contract. He had been omitted from Millwall's recent matchday squads by manager Alex Neil before securing his desired top-flight switch.
