English Championship side Millwall have set a new price tag for Super Eagles two goals hero against Zimbabwe Femi Azeez heading into the summer transfer window, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Azeez made an instant impression on his international debut scoring a brace to help Nigeria to a 2-0 win over Zimbabwe, and a spot in the final where they will face Jamaica.
Voted in the Championship team of the season, the player of the year nominee is a target of a host of clubs in the English top division with the likes of Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Fulham and Leeds United are interested in his services.
However newly promoted Ipswich Town were the first to test the waters with a bid of £20m for the winger, but it was rejected by Millwall who are holding for a fee in excess of £30m per what we understand.
Their new valuation of the winger has a lot to do with his rise last season and also his current status as an international player for Nigeria at senior level.
Despite that teams are expected to maintain their push for his signing, and when the transfer window hots up he is expected to be one of the players that top teams will scramble for.
