Championship club, Millwall FC have reportedly prevented Nigerian midfielder Femi Azeez from joining the Super Eagles for the upcoming international friendlies against Poland and Portugal.
The club’s decision was reportedly based on the fact that Azeez was not included in the initial squad list submitted for the matches.
The talented midfielder had been considered for a late call-up by the Nigerian national team following his impressive performances at club level.
However, Millwall exercised their right to retain the player, ruling him out of the friendly fixtures scheduled during the international window.
Azeez’s growing reputation has attracted significant attention from several Premier League clubs ahead of the transfer window. Sources indicate that clubs including Brighton & Hove Albion FC, AFC Bournemouth, Aston Villa FC and Crystal Palace FC are monitoring his situation closely.
The 24-year-old’s performances in the Championship have made him one of the most sought-after Nigerian players in England’s second tier. Despite missing the upcoming friendlies, Azeez remains firmly on the radar of the Super Eagles coaching crew as he continues to attract interest from top-flight clubs.
