Brighton have had two bids for Millwall winger Femi Azeez turned down, with the latest proposal worth just over £10 million, and the Premier League club intend to increase their push before the transfer deadline.
Details were first published by David Ornstein, who reports the pursuit remains active and that Azeez, 25, wants to make the switch to the Amex. The update emerged on Sunday evening.
The rejected offers underline Millwall’s valuation stance, with the most recent package falling short of the Championship club’s expectations. As things stand there is no agreement between the clubs and no indication that terms are close.
With bids already lodged, the next step would likely require Brighton to return with improved terms if they are to make progress. The reporting stops short of suggesting a breakthrough, and there is no suggestion of a medical or formal agreement at this stage.
Azeez operates primarily on the right and is understood to be open to the move, which would typically smooth personal discussions should the clubs find common ground on a fee. Specific add-ons or the precise structure of Brighton’s offers have not been disclosed.
Timing is tight, but the intent to step up efforts before the window closes suggests further contact could follow quickly. Whether Millwall soften their stance or Brighton raise their offer will determine if a deal can be struck before the cut-off.
