Super Eagles forward Femi Azeez is one of the hot properties in the English transfer market this summer, Afrik-Foot reports.

Azeez was among the standout players in the English Championship last season, serving as Millwall’s primary attacking threat.

He contributed 11 goals and 7 assists in 37 league games, firing them into the promotion playoff spots, though they ultimately missed out on reaching the Premier League.

Nonetheless, his stellar performances have made him one of the most enticing prospects in the Championship.

Several clubs have been linked with the versatile 25-year-old, but none have submitted a formal bid just yet.

Premier League returnees Ipswich Town had been linked with Azeez for most of the summer. This was hardly surprising, as a player of his quality could make a major difference, but that move now looks quite unlikely.

Why Femi Azeez Might Join Hull City Instead of Ipswich Town

As it stands, it appears unlikely that Azeez will move to Ipswich Town, given how active the club has been in the summer transfer market.

They recently signed Issahaku Fatawu from Leicester City for €23.5 million. Because the Ghanaian plays in the same position as Azeez, Ipswich are unlikely to pursue the Super Eagles star this summer.

With Ipswich Town out of the mix, Hull City has emerged as a realistic destination. Hull won the Championship playoffs and desperately need to splash the cash this summer if they want to stay afloat in the Premier League next season.

They have been relatively quiet in the transfer market so far, but with Ipswich stepping aside, The Tigers now have a clear path to swoop in.

Given that Azeez has two years left on his contract, Millwall are open to a sale. They value their forward at €17.6 million — a very reasonable price tag, especially considering Hull pocketed well over €100 million for winning the Championship playoffs.

It remains to be seen whether Hull will formalize their interest or explore other options.

Azeez is capable of playing as a winger, a right midfielder, or an attacking midfielder, making his versatility a massive asset for any team. Whether he secures a move or remains at Millwall for the upcoming season, the next few weeks will tell.
