Super Eagles have received a major boost in their ongoing squad rebuild after Femi Azeez officially committed his international future to Nigeria, ending speculation over his allegiance.
The Millwall FC winger, who was eligible to represent England, has now opted to play for Nigeria at senior level, aligning himself with the country of his heritage. His decision comes at a time when the national team is actively scouting fresh talents to strengthen the squad ahead of upcoming international fixtures.
Azeez has been one of the standout performers in the English Championship this season, enjoying a breakthrough campaign that has seen him emerge as a key figure for Millwall. The 24-year-old has contributed consistently in attack, combining pace, creativity, and direct running to trouble defenders across the league.
His performances have not gone unnoticed, with reports indicating he has been on the radar of Nigeria’s coaching crew for some time. With the Super Eagles looking to inject new energy into their attacking options, Azeez’s profile fits perfectly into the evolving setup.
Nigeria’s push to secure dual-nationality players has intensified in recent months, and Azeez’s commitment represents another success in that strategy. The winger now joins a growing list of overseas-based talents choosing to represent the West African nation amid a broader rebuilding phase.
The development also increases his chances of earning a call-up in the coming international window, where the coaching staff is expected to experiment with new faces. Competitions like the planned Unity Cup have been identified as key opportunities to integrate emerging players into the squad.
For Azeez, the decision marks a significant step in his career, offering him the chance to compete on the international stage and potentially play alongside established stars in Nigeria’s attacking line.
With his form in England and his commitment now confirmed, all eyes will be on whether he secures his first senior cap in the green and white jersey in the months ahead.
