Super Eagles winger Femi Azeez has completed a move from Millwall to Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion on a four-year contract.
The transfer was concluded after both clubs submitted a deal sheet ahead of the 11pm deadline, with the transfer fee remaining undisclosed.
Brighton’s Sporting Director, Mike Cave, expressed delight over the signing, describing Azeez as one of the most exciting attacking talents in the Championship.
“We are delighted to add Femi to the squad. He arrives off the back of an excellent season with Millwall, having played a key role for them as they finished in the playoffs.
“He was one of the most exciting attacking talents in the Championship, and we’re delighted to have finally agreed his transfer, and we’re now looking forward to working with him,” Cave said.
The 25-year-old Nigerian winger made 77 appearances for Millwall, scoring 15 goals and providing 13 assists during his time at the club.
His move to Brighton represents another major step in his career after rising through the English football divisions and establishing himself as a key attacking player in the Championship.
Azeez will now look to make his mark in the Premier League as he begins a new chapter with Brighton.
