Millwall Football Club's star winger Femi Azeez is attracting interest from Premier League side Hull City, with the Lions keen to keep hold of him as they aim for promotion in the 2026/27 season. The 25-year-old played a key role in Millwall finishing 3rd in the Championship last season, scoring 11 goals and registering eight assists across 33 second-tier starts. He was also named in the official Championship Team of the Season and nominated for the Championship Player of the Season award.
What happened to Femi Azeez?
Millwall have set their price for Azeez, demanding a staggering £30m fee for their star winger. The two-time Nigeria international has attracted interest from fellow promoted side Ipswich Town, but they have signed Abdul Fatawu from Leicester City, so they are not in need for a new right winger.
Why is Millwall eager to hold onto Femi Azeez this summer?
Millwall are eager to hold onto Azeez as they aim for promotion in the 2026/27 season. The Lions have already sanctioned the departures of a host of players so far this summer, but have equally strengthened well in a bid for promotion or a play-off finish again this season. Keeping hold of Azeez may be crucial for their success.
What comes next for Millwall?
As mentioned, Neil has already seen a number of members of his play-off achieving squad depart so far this summer and will be keen not to see Azeez a part of that list. The Lions have brought in seven fresh faces to aid a top eight push, including forwards Kyrell Lisbie and Tairyk Arconte, midfielders Mathis Servais and Jenson Metcalfe, and defenders Mark Sykes and Danny Batth.
The Verdict: Millwall ready to go again after summer business
