Millwall winger Femi Azeez is not hiding his ambition to play at the highest level of English football following a standout campaign in the Sky Bet Championship. The 24-year-old winger has openly expressed his desire to test himself in the Premier League after proving to be one of the most impactful attackers in the English second tier over the 2025/26 season.
Azeez was a crucial spark plug for The Lions throughout their promotion charge. He made 35 appearances, finding the back of the net 4 times and turning provider with 8 assists to help steer Millwall to an impressive third-place finish in the league table. While the club’s promotion dreams were ultimately cut short by Hull City in a 2-0 aggregate defeat during the playoff semifinals, Azeez’s individual displays did not go unnoticed. His consistent performances earned him a well-deserved spot in the Championship Team of the Season.
That stellar form has naturally sparked intense transfer speculation. Top-flight sides Brighton & Hove Albion and Bournemouth have already been heavily linked with the Nigerian international, who seems primed for a step up.
The winger is fully focused on making his top-flight dream a reality. Speaking about his future, Azeez made it clear that he is willing to put in the necessary work to reach the very top. He noted that the Premier League represents the absolute pinnacle of the sport and reiterated his commitment to doing whatever it takes to earn his place among the elite.
