Hull City Step Up Azeez Pursuit
Hull City are working on luring Femi Azeez from Sky Bet Championship club Millwall, DAILY POST reports. The Tigers are keen to bolster their squad following their promotion to the Premier League last season.
Why it Matters for Hull City
Azeez is seen as a potential quality addition by Hull City. The two-time Nigeria international was one of the star performers for Millwall last season, scoring 11 goals and providing eight assists across 33 second-tier starts. He was also named in the Championship Team of the Season.
What Comes Next?
According to Football League World, Hull City will push to sign the player before the start of the new season. Millwall reportedly rejected a £20 million bid from Premier League new boys Ipswich Town for the player earlier in the summer.
Transfer Details
Azeez's current club, Millwall, is expected to hold out for a substantial fee, given his impressive performances last season. Hull City's pursuit of the player is seen as a significant boost to their squad, with the team looking to build on their promotion to the Premier League.
