Interest is building around Femi Azeez after a breakout campaign in the Championship, with top-flight clubs now circling ahead of the summer window.
Both Bournemouth and Brighton & Hove Albion are understood to be tracking the Millwall winger, whose performances have turned heads across the division.
Since arriving at Millwall in 2024, the 24 year old has developed into one of the league’s most effective wide players, combining goal threat with creativity. His return of nine goals and eight assists in 34 matches underlined his influence and earned him recognition in the Championship Team of the Season.
Despite Millwall’s push for promotion, uncertainty remains over whether Azeez will still be part of their plans next term, particularly with Premier League attention intensifying.

According to Foot Mercato, the winger’s situation is attracting multiple suitors, with Bournemouth and Brighton among those keeping a close watch on developments.
The same report also highlights a key international development, confirming that Nigeria have already made their move.
“Nigeria have also approached the player and his entourage,” Foot Mercato reported.
Azeez, who qualifies for England, Spain and Nigeria, has now decided to commit his international future to the Super Eagles. With no prior appearances at youth level for either England or Spain, the process is straightforward under FIFA regulations.
That decision places him firmly in the frame as an option for Éric Chelle, adding further depth to the attacking options available to the Nigeria national football team.
Born in England to a Nigerian father and Spanish mother, Azeez’s game is built on speed, direct running and the ability to stretch defences traits that have made him a standout at Championship level and an increasingly attractive prospect for both club and country.
