Millwall Football Club is desperate to hold on to Femi Azeez amid Hull City's pursuit of the winger. Azeez is a key asset for the Lions, and they will want to get as much money for him as possible. Hull City are leading the race to sign Azeez, but they have yet to lodge an official bid. Millwall could face a battle to keep hold of the attacker between now and the end of the transfer window. Azeez, 25, is under contract until the summer of 2028, meaning he has two years left to run down on his deal at The Den. He made 37 league appearances in the last campaign and chipped in with 11 goals and eight assists. In this latest update regarding his future in London, NewsAtDen claim Hull City are in the driving seat ahead of other unnamed teams overseas for his signature. The East Yorkshire outfit are yet to make an approach though as they look to potentially test the Lions' resolve. Millwall beat QPR on penalties in the first round of the Carabao Cup last time out. They face an away trip to Ashton Gate to play Bristol City in the league this weekend.

What happened? Millwall will be desperate to retain the services of Azeez for another 12 months at least. He is one of their most prized assets and is key to their chances of getting into the play-offs again. The Nigeria international, who has two caps to his name, is a real threat cutting in on his left foot from the right. He has proven himself in the second tier now so it is no surprise to see Hull City keen. Azeez will want to test himself at the top level in the near future. The Tigers would be able to offer him regular game time and a platform to show what he can do against some of the biggest teams in the world. Millwall landed the London-born man back in 2024 and he hasn't looked back since. Prior to his switch, he caught the eye at Reading in League One.

Why it matters for Millwall Football Club Hull City's move for Leon Bailey at Aston Villa has seemingly hit the buffers. Therefore, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Tigers turn to Azeez now. They have money to spend as they prepare for the step up in quality. Millwall will want to get as much money for him as possible though and won't be prepared to sell on the cheap.
