Femi Azeez Joins Brighton from Millwall for Over £15 Million
Brighton & Hove Albion has officially signed winger Femi Azeez from Millwall for a fee that may surpass £15 million. The announcement came after the transfer deadline, with the deal completed by an extended deadline of 01:00 on Wednesday.
Azeez, who is 25 years old, expressed a strong desire to leave Millwall for Premier League football. He joined Millwall from Reading in 2024 and scored 14 goals in 77 appearances. Millwall acknowledged his contributions, including 11 goals and eight assists last season, and thanked him for his time at the club.
Brighton's Sporting Director Mike Cave noted Azeez's status as one of the most exciting attacking talents in the Championship. The club is currently navigating its second league match of the 2026/27 season after a recent loss to Chelsea.
