    Brighton have agreed a deal to sign Nigeria winger Femi Azeez from Millwall.

    The 25-year-old 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 the Seagulls in recent weeks.

    His departure would be a club record sale for Millwall, who are set to receive an initial £12.5m - potentially rising past £15m with add-ons.

    Azeez would be Brighton's 11th signing of the summer, including their club record £45m move for Tottenham centre-back Luka Vuskovic.

    The Seagulls have also raised significant funds through player sales, including Carlos Baleba's £70m move to Manchester United, while Liverpool have been linked with winger Yankuba Minteh.

    Azeez joined Millwall from Reading for about £1m in 2024 and is entering the final two years of his contract.

    He had been left out of the Lions' three most recent matchday squads by manager Alex Neil.

    Fellow Championship club Wrexham are also understood to have shown an interest in the attacker.

    His arrival at Brighton will allow Seagulls winger Amario Cozier-Duberry, who has signed a new contract, to leave on loan.

    The 21-year-old, who had a successful loan spell at Bolton Wanderers in League One last season, is expected to join Championship side Middlesbrough this term.

    He looks likely to replace Morgan Whittaker at Boro, with the winger set to join Major League Soccer side Colorado Rapids.

    Midfielder Abdoulaye Kante has left Middlesbrough to join Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq on a permanent deal.

    Kante, 21, moved to Boro last summer from French club Troyes and spent the second half of last season on loan at Saint-Etienne.

    He started Boro's first Championship game of the season, playing over an hour, as they came from behind to beat Lincoln City 2-1.

    In total, Kante made six appearances for the club.
