Femi Azeez has declared his ambition to reach the Premier League after marking his Super Eagles debut with two goals against Zimbabwe in Nigeria’s 2-0 Unity Cup semi-final victory, a performance that made him the first Nigerian debutant to score twice for the senior team in 55 years, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

The 24-year-old Millwall forward, who arrived at the tournament on the back of a 19-goal-contribution season across 35 Championship appearances, has quickly identified the international stage as the springboard to the next phase of his career.

“I had a good season in the Championship and obviously, to do it on the international stage as well was just that next step up,” Azeez told Sky Sports.

“Whenever I achieve something, I’m always hungry for more. I’m never satisfied with what I’ve got. I’m always going to work towards that next level because I’m ambitious as a footballer and as a person, and I want to reach as high a level as possible.”

The winger was direct about his top-flight ambitions, saying, “The Premier League is obviously the pinnacle of football. I’d love to play in the Premier League. So obviously, working hard, I’m going to do whatever I can to get there.”

Azeez arrived in the Eagles squad having already had a strong domestic season, earning a place in the Championship Team of the Season despite Millwall narrowly missing out on automatic promotion and falling to Hull City in the play-offs. His debut brace at The Valley, Charlton’s ground in London, only sharpened a hunger that was already well established.
