Hull City Emerge as Front-Runners to Sign Nigeria Winger Femi Azeez in £15m Transfer Battle
Hull City have emerged as the leading contenders to sign Nigerian winger Femi Azeez from Millwall during the summer transfer window, with the Championship club attracting strong interest from several English sides.
The 25-year-old enjoyed an outstanding campaign last season, and his impressive performances have placed him on the radar of multiple clubs looking to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season.
Hull City Move Ahead in Race for Femi Azeez
Hull City are currently believed to be in pole position to secure Azeez’s signature, despite competition from clubs across the Premier League and the Championship.
Earlier reports linked the Nigerian international with newly promoted Premier League side Ipswich Town, while Bournemouth and Brighton & Hove Albion have also been credited with an interest in the pacey winger.
However, Hull City are now understood to be leading the pursuit as they aim to reinforce their squad before the transfer window closes.
Millwall Set £15 Million Asking Price
Millwall are not expected to allow one of their key players to leave cheaply.
Reports indicate the Lions have placed a valuation of at least £15 million on Azeez, with the club unwilling to consider offers below that figure.
The winger still has two years remaining on his current contract, giving Millwall a strong negotiating position as interest in the player continues to grow.
Outstanding Season Sparks Transfer Interest
Azeez was one of Millwall’s standout performers during the 2025/26 season.
His direct attacking style, creativity, and eye for goal made him one of the most dangerous wingers in the Championship, contributing consistently throughout the campaign.
Femi Azeez 2025/26 Season Statistics
| Competition | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
|---|---|---|---|
| All Competitions | 37 | 11 | 8 |
His return of 11 goals and eight assists in 37 appearances has significantly boosted his market value and explains why several clubs are monitoring his situation.
Transfer Decision Could Come Soon
With Hull City pushing to complete the deal and interest remaining from Premier League clubs, the coming weeks could prove decisive for Azeez’s future.
Whether Millwall receive an offer matching their £15 million valuation remains to be seen, but the Nigerian winger is expected to remain one of the Championship’s most talked-about transfer stories until his future is resolved.
