Brighton have signed Nigeria winger Femi Azeez from Millwall in a deal worth £12.5m - potentially rising past £15m with add-ons.

🌐 Here's What Happened

Azeez arrives at the Amex Stadium on a four-year contract and becomes Brighton 's 11th signing of the summer window, including their club record £45m move for Tottenham centre-back Luka Vuskovic.

Azeez, 25, scored 11 goals and provided eight assists in 37 games last season, earning a place in the PFA Championship team of the year.

Azeez has been pushing for a move to the Premier League, with Millwall rejecting at least three bids from Brighton in recent weeks.

📌 Key Details

Brighton said the clubs submitted a deal sheet before Tuesday's 23:00 BST transfer deadline and concluded the deal before the extended deadline at 01:00 on Wednesday.

Azeez joined Millwall from Reading for about £1m in 2024 and has left the Den with two years left on his contract.

Brighton also signed defensive midfielder Chema Andres from Stuttgart in a deal worth £15.5m on deadline day.

Andres, 21, put pen to paper on a five-year contract at the club after the Seagulls agreed a fee with the Bundesliga outfit on deadline day.

The Spain Under-21 international made 41 appearances for Stuttgart last season after joining from Real Madrid in 2025.

Andres came through Real Madrid's youth set-up before making his La Liga debut in January 2025.
