Brighton are understood to be monitoring Azeez after his impressive 2025/26 Championship campaign, in which he established himself as one of Millwall’s most productive attacking players.

According to reports, Azeez has emerged as a possible target as Cozier-Duberry prepares to leave Brighton for Scottish Premiership side Rangers.

The potential move would represent another significant step in Azeez’s career after an outstanding season at The Den.

The winger scored 11 goals and provided eight assists in 34 appearances for Millwall during the 2025/26 Championship campaign.

His contribution earned him a place in the Championship Team of the Season, further strengthening his reputation ahead of the new campaign.

Azeez’s form has attracted attention from several clubs, with Premier League newcomers Hull City and Ipswich Town also reportedly interested in securing his services.

Brighton’s interest could therefore lead to a competitive transfer battle for the winger, particularly given his combination of pace, direct running and attacking output.

For Brighton, Azeez could provide an energetic option in the wide areas as the club reshapes its squad for another demanding Premier League campaign.

The possible transfer also comes at an important stage of Azeez’s development.

At 25, the Nigeria international has the experience of regular Championship football while still having room to establish himself at a higher level.

Azeez’s 11-goal return last season is particularly notable for a winger, while his eight assists underline his ability to contribute beyond finishing chances himself.

No agreement has been reported between Brighton and Millwall, and the Premier League club face competition from other interested sides.
