Femi Azeez linked with Brighton as Millwall midfielder attracts Premier League interest

Published on: 01 September 2026

Nigeria and England midfielder Femi Azeez, who currently plays for Millwall, has been linked with a move to Brighton in the Premier League.

The 25-year-old right midfielder joined Millwall from Reading on 21 August 2024 in a transfer worth €1.15m. He remains contracted to the Championship club until 30 June 2028, while his current market value is €15m.

Azeez has made one Championship appearance this season, registering no goals or assists. He has also featured once in the EFL Cup, playing 84 minutes across the two competitions.

Brighton’s interest would place Azeez among the latest Championship players to be linked with a move to a Premier League club, although there is no indication that an agreement has been reached or that formal terms have been disclosed.

Azeez began his senior career with Reading after progressing from non-league football, including spells with Wealdstone, Hanwell Town, Bracknell and Northwood. He made the permanent move to Reading in 2021 before joining Millwall three years later.

The player’s contract and €15m market valuation provide the current financial context for the reported link, but the rumour remains unconfirmed. For now, Azeez remains a Millwall player with two years left on his deal.
