Femi Azeez celebrating his goal for Millwall, showing his left-foot magic.
Super Eagles fans are in a frenzy after Millwall winger Femi Azeez unleashed a sensational left-footed strike in the Championship, sparking calls for coach Eric Chelle to reconsider his AFCON 2025 squad plans. The 24-year-old’s goal, his sixth of the season, helped Millwall secure a thrilling victory over Joe Aribo’s Southampton, keeping the Lions third in the promotion hunt.
Azeez’s decisive strike came in the 72nd minute, following a slick exchange with Tristan Crama before sending a low, unstoppable shot from outside the box into the net. The goal set the stage for Caleb Taylor’s screamer and Crama’s stoppage-time winner, highlighting Azeez’s clutch quality.
This follows his earlier sensational strike against West Brom, nominated for the EFL Sky Bet Championship October 2025 Goal of the Month, further cementing his reputation as a match-winner.
Born to a Nigerian father and Spanish mother, Azeez’s dual eligibility has sparked intense debate on social media. Fans are calling for a dramatic last-minute Super Eagles squad change, viewing him as a potential rival for Samuel Chukwueze in Nigeria’s attack.
Reactions included:
“Femi Azeez!!!!!!!! Mad left foot.”
“That left foot is so sharp.”
“We don finally see who go bench Chukwueze.”
Some skeptics remain cautious: “If he touches Nigeria soil he begins to flop.” Family ties also add intrigue, as Azeez’s younger brother Miguel had stints with Arsenal and Morecambe.
With six goals and an assist driving Millwall’s promotion surge, Azeez offers pace, precision, and explosive left-foot magic—exactly the fresh firepower Nigeria needs. His inclusion could inject creativity and unpredictability into the Super Eagles’ attacking setup just ahead of AFCON 2025 in Morocco.
As Chelle finalizes his squad, all eyes will be on whether Championship flair translates into continental thunder.
