Transfer: 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.

Azeez is seen as a potential quality addition by Hull City.

Millwall reportedly rejected a £20 million bid  from Premier League new boys Ipswich Town for the player earlier in the summer.

According to Football League World, Hull City will push to sign the two-time Nigeria international before the start of the new season.

Azeez 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.
