Brighton confirm Femi Azeez signing from Millwall on four-year deal | OneFootball

Albion have completed the signing of Nigeria international winger Femi Azeez from Millwall on a four-year contract after late deadline-night work for a player widely viewed as one of the Championship's most exciting attacking talents.

According to TheArgus.co.uk, the fee is £12.5 million with potential add-ons. Fans waited overnight for confirmation of his move from The Den.

The clubs lodged a deal sheet before the 11pm deadline, giving them a further two hours to finalise paperwork. The transfer was completed within that extension.

The club teased "to be continued" on social media before Wednesday's announcement. Azeez arrives after a frantic finish to the window that also saw Spain under-21 midfielder Chema Andres join from Stuttgart, while Amario Cozier-Duberry agreed a new contract.

There were several exits too, mostly on loan. Azeez was named in both the PFA and the EFL’s Championship Teams of the Season for the 2025-26 campaign.

Head coach Fabian Hurzeler will now assess his options to face Leeds on Saturday.
