Hull City target ex-Reading winger Femi Azeez for Premier League push
Hull City are reportedly eyeing a move for ex-Reading winger Femi Azeez, now at Millwall, as they prepare for their Premier League return. The 25-year-old was a key figure in Millwall’s Championship play-off run last season, scoring 11 goals and providing eight assists. Azeez began his career at Reading before moving to Millwall in 2024, where he has since established himself as one of the Championship’s most dangerous attacking players.
What’s the latest on Azeez’s potential move?
According to Football League World, Hull City have expressed interest in Azeez, who has previously rejected a £20m offer from Ipswich Town. The Tigers, who defeated Millwall in last season’s play-offs, are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of their Premier League campaign, which begins against Manchester United on August 22. Azeez’s ambition to play in the Premier League could make him an attractive target for Hull.
Why is Azeez a target for Hull City?
Azeez’s impressive performances in the Championship have caught the attention of several clubs. His ability to contribute both goals and assists makes him a valuable asset. In an interview with Flashscore in June, Azeez stated, “I'm ambitious both as a footballer and as a person, and I want to reach the highest level possible. The Premier League is the pinnacle of football, and I would love to play there one day.”
What does this mean for Reading?
While Azeez is no longer at Reading, his potential move to the Premier League highlights the club’s role in developing talent. Reading finished 10th in League One last season with 62 points, scoring 62 goals and conceding 55. Their next fixture is against Cambridge United at home on February 20, 2027.
