The 25-year-old enjoyed a standout 2025/26 campaign, scoring 11 goals and providing eight assists in 34 league appearances, earning a place in the Championship Team of the Season. 

Brighton & Hove Albion, Bournemouth and Ipswich Town have also been linked with the Nigerian international.

Millwall are reportedly demanding at least €20 million for the winger, who made his senior Nigeria debut in May and marked the occasion in style by scoring twice in a 2-0 victory over Zimbabwe, further boosting his growing reputation.
