Femi Azeez to Brighton: Breakdown of ₦27bn transfer – clauses & more

Super Eagles attacker Femi Azeez has completed his transfer from Millwall to English Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion, Afrik-Foot reports.

​Azeez’s future has been one of the major talking points at Millwall this summer. He is coming off a brilliant campaign with Millwall in the English Championship, contributing 11 goals and seven assists in 37 appearances.

​That form saw him linked to several clubs, including Ipswich, Hull City, Crystal Palace, and Brighton.

​The Seagulls had placed multiple bids for Azeez, but Millwall rejected those offers until today. The 25-year-old is now set to undergo his medical at Brighton to officially complete the transfer before the deadline.

​After two rejected bids of £10 million and £12 million, Millwall accepted an offer of £15 million (₦27 billion) from Brighton, per The Athletic. This is broken down into £12.5 million guaranteed and £2.5 million in add-ons.

​Azeez will sign a four-year contract with the option of a one-year extension, meaning he is set to be at the Amex for a long time.

​Although the Super Eagles attacker is injured, the move is still expected to go through since he has an excellent injury record.

​For Millwall, this is a massive windfall, as Azeez will become their record sale if the add-on conditions are met. Before now, the club’s biggest sale was Romain Esse, whom they sold to Crystal Palace for £14 million.

​It is also a massive return on investment for the Championship club, as they paid Reading £1 million for Azeez just two years ago.

​More About Azeez’s Transfer to Brighton

​Femi Azeez will be expected to play a key role for the Seagulls once he returns from injury.

​Brighton are competing in the Conference League, so manager Fabian Hürzeler needs a large squad. As such, Azeez will play a crucial part in the team.

​His ability to play multiple roles also makes him a strong signing for Brighton. On the financial side, it will be rewarding for the Nigerian star: his previous salary was £7,000 per week, but he could potentially become one of the highest earners at the Amex with this move.
