Fabian Hürzeler bolsters his attacking options as the lethal Championship winger heads for a medical, providing a creative, left-footed spark to fill the void on the right.
Brighton and Hove Albion have agreed a deal to sign Femi Azeez from Millwall in a deal believed to be around £12.5 million, plus add ons worth over £15 million.
The 25-year-old is set for a medical, according to David Ornstein, to complete his move this afternoon, as Azeez has been pushing for a move to Brighton in order to play in the Premier League.
The forward was named in the PFA Championship Team of the Season last season, as he contributed to 19 goal contributions, including 11 goals.
What type of player is Femi Azeez?
An exciting winger who likes to cut in on his left foot from the right, Azeez is also capable of striking a ball with his opposite side.
Considering the injury and potential departure of Yankuba Minteh, getting this deal over the line was vital to complete Fabian Hürzeler's squad. The right side of attack was certainly weakened, as Diego Gomez has been playing large portions of games.
Possibly the key part of Azeez's game is his ball striking. Cutting in often resulted in shots from distance, as well as delivering very dangerous crosses on both feet, but usually his left.
On top of this, Azeez is very good in tight spaces, and likes to entertain. Taking games by the scruff of the neck and showcasing talents, doesn't this sound like a certain someone? Who could forget Anthony Knockaert!
Having a natural winger back on the right will be very refreshing, but premature to claim him as a Minteh 'replacement' at this stage!
