The 24-year-old attacker, who remains under contract at Millwall until 2028, has become one of the most sought-after Nigerian players in England after enjoying an impressive Championship campaign.
Azeez scored 11 goals and provided seven assists during the season, playing a major role in Millwall’s attacking performances and attracting interest from several Premier League clubs.
The Nigerian forward further boosted his reputation after making a sensational debut for the Nigeria national football team in their 2-0 Unity Cup semi-final victory over Zimbabwe national football team.
Azeez scored both goals in the encounter, instantly becoming the hero of the night as Nigeria secured qualification for the tournament final. His pace, movement, and finishing ability earned widespread praise from supporters and football observers.
According to reports monitored by Sports247, Millwall are unwilling to part ways with the forward for the current offer and are believed to value the player closer to £30 million considering his age, current form, and long-term contract situation.
Ipswich Town FC are reportedly eager to strengthen their squad after securing promotion back to the Premier League under manager Kieran McKenna. The club is looking to build a competitive team capable of surviving in the English top flight.
However, Ipswich are not alone in the race for Azeez’s signature. Premier League clubs including Aston Villa FC, AFC Bournemouth, Crystal Palace FC, and Sunderland AFC have also been linked with interest in the Nigerian attacker.
With growing attention surrounding his future, Femi Azeez appears set to become one of the major transfer stories involving Nigerian players this summer.
