Nigerian football fans are in meltdown after 24-year-old Millwall winger Femi Azeez unleashed a viral left-footed rocket that has completely shaken up the Super Eagles’ AFCON 2025 conversation.
Azeez detonated his latest masterpiece in Millwall’s dramatic Championship win over Joe Aribo’s Southampton, smashing home his sixth goal of the season and keeping the Lions firmly in the promotion race.
Azeez Ignites The Den
In the 72nd minute, Azeez combined brilliantly with Tristan Crama before firing a deadly, low missile from outside the box. His strike flipped the momentum and set the stage for two more screamers: Caleb Taylor’s rocket and Crama’s late winner.
This wasn’t some one-off flash. Azeez has been cooking all year. His outrageous strike against West Brom; chest control, quick touch, and an unstoppable curler earned him an EFL Championship Goal of the Month nomination. The hype is deserved.
Born for the Big Stage
With a Nigerian father and Spanish mother, Azeez remains dual-eligible, but right now, his form is screaming for a late Super Eagles call-up. Nigeria’s attack has lacked spark in recent months, and Azeez’s pace, bravery, and thunderbolt left foot look like the perfect antidote.
Fans Go Nuclear
Social media went into overdrive:
- “Femi Azeez!!!!!!!! Mad left foot.”
- “That left foot is so sharp.”
- “We don finally see who go bench Chukwueze!”
Some skeptics threw in jabs: “If he touches Nigeria soil he go flop,” while others pointed out the football roots in his family: “His younger brother Miguel was at Arsenal and is now at Morecambe.”
To many fans, Azeez looks like Chelle’s wildcard weapon.
AFCON Deadline Ticking…
With six goals and an assist powering Millwall’s promotion dream, Azeez is suddenly the hottest Nigerian winger in the Championship. His explosiveness and precision could give the Super Eagles a fresh, unpredictable edge.
As Eric Chelle prepares to name his AFCON 2025 squad, this viral rocket might just force his hand, turning championship fire into continental chaos.
