According to a report by TEAMtalk, Crystal Palace are ready to move with pace in pursuit of Femi Azeez ahead of the summer. The Eagles face competition for the Millwall star, with Fulham, Leeds United, and Everton all interested in one of the standout attackers in the EFL Championship.
The Championship occasionally produces gems that tend to move to the Premier League and shine. Crystal Palace have enjoyed this privilege, as they have achieved success on a few occasions, with Adam Wharton a standout example in that regard.
Now, they are chasing a new gem from the lower league, with Millwall star Femi Azeez firmly on their radar. The 24-year-old wide attacker has eight goals and seven assists in 25 games in the Championship this season, and he is one of the big reasons why Millwall are pushing for an automatic qualification spot from the second tier.
Irrespective of whether they make it back to the Premier League after a long hiatus, top performers like Femi Azeez are expected to move on, amid growing Premier League interest. Crystal Palace are pushing ahead with their interest, having observed the English wide man in action on a few occasions.
They are probably scouring the market for a new wide attacker, although reports are stating Evan Guessand’s loan could be turned permanent. However, the idea of signing one of the top performers in the Championship could be an opportunity they do not want to miss, as the Eagles are reportedly ahead of their competition for the winger.
Femi Azeez is not only on Crystal Palace’s radar, as Leeds United, Fulham and Everton are also interested in the 24-year-old. Everton could anticipate an exit for Iliman Ndiaye, and the same could be said about Fulham, who, despite reportedly offering an improved deal for Harry Wilson, are still in danger of losing their winger.
Leeds United will probably keep one eye on some of the top performers in the Championship, and they could make a bid for Azeez as a potential option for their attack. Given the amount of competition in place for the Millwall winger, he could be moving to the top flight, either with his current club or by joining someone else, as Crystal Palace are in the lead, as per the report.
