Millwall blocks Azeez from Super Eagles friendlies amid €20m transfer interest

Millwall blocks Femi Azeez from featuring in Super Eagles friendlies against Poland and Portugal, citing ongoing transfer interest in the 24-year-old winger. The Championship side recently rejected a €20m transfer bid from Premier League newcomers Ipswich Town for the former Watford star, who impressed in Nigeria's recent international matches. Azeez, who scored a brace on his Super Eagles debut against Zimbabwe in May, was drafted in as replacement for injured Samuel Chukwueze. Bournemouth and Brighton & Hove Albion have also been linked with the talented winger, with Millwall reportedly unwilling to risk injury during transfer negotiations. The decision leaves Super Eagles coach with a depleted squad for crucial European friendlies, just months before the African Cup of Nations qualifiers. With transfer speculation intensifying, Azeez's international future remains uncertain as Championship clubs increasingly reluctant to release players during transfer windows.
