Brighton have agreed a deal to sign Nigeria winger Femi Azeez from Millwall.
The 25-year-old scored 11 goals and provided eight assists in 37 games last season, earning a place in the PFA Championship team of the year.
Azeez has been pushing for a move to the Premier League, with Millwall rejecting at least three bids from the Seagulls in recent weeks.
His departure would be a club record sale for Millwall, who are set to receive an initial £12.5m - potentially rising past £15m with add-ons.
Azeez would be Brighton's 11th signing of the summer, including their club record £45m move for Tottenham centre-back Luka Vuskovic.
The Seagulls have also raised significant funds through player sales, including Carlos Baleba's £70m move to Manchester United, while Liverpool have been linked with winger Yankuba Minteh.
Azeez joined Millwall from Reading for about £1m in 2024 and is entering the final two years of his contract.
He had been left out of the Lions' three most recent matchday squads by manager Alex Neil.
Fellow Championship club Wrexham are also understood to have shown an interest in the attacker.
His arrival at Brighton will allow Seagulls winger Amario Cozier-Duberry, who has signed a new contract, to leave on loan.
The 21-year-old, who had a successful loan spell at Bolton Wanderers in League One last season, is expected to join Championship side Middlesbroughthis term.
He looks likely to replace Morgan Whittaker at Boro, with the winger set to join Major League Soccer side Colorado Rapids.

Jack Taylor was involved with Stevenage's first team in pre-season
Exeter City have signed defender Jack Taylor on loan from Stevenage for the rest of the season, and added strikers Danny Rose and Ajay Matthews.
Centre-back Taylor, 21, joined Boro from Sutton United in January and made his debut in their League Cup defeat by Reading last month.
"We are short in the centre-half department currently and he is a fantastic size with a great profile and did really well to break through at Sutton United to earn a move to League One level," said Grecians boss Matt Taylor, external.
Exeter have also brought in 20-year-old Matthews on a season-long loan from Championship side Millwall, while 32-year-old Rose has signed a two-year deal after joining from National League side Barrow.
Rose has made more than 400 career appearances and scored more than 100 goals during a career that has also included spells with Barnsley, Bury, Mansfield Town, Northampton Town, Stevenage and Grimsby Town.

Millwall want £15m for Azeezpublished at 14:16 BST 31 August

Millwall have set a £15m asking price for winger Femi Azeez amid multiple offers from Brighton.
The south-coast club, whose interest was first reported by BBC Sport, have made two offers in recent weeks worth over £10m. A third has more recently come in surpassing £12m.
Azeez is understood to be keen on a move to the Amex Stadium.
However, Brighton remain short of Millwall's valuation. The south London club are prepared to let Azeez take the next step in his career if their demands are met.
Millwall signed Azeez from Reading in 2024 for around £1m and the Nigeria international is into the final 24 months of his contract. A sale would generate a significant return on the 25 year old.
Fellow Championship club Wrexham are also believed to have shown an interest but a move to the Premier League is his sole focus.
Azeez, who was named in the PFA Championship Team of the Year, is understood to be one of Brighton's top targets ahead of Tuesday's transfer deadline and he desperate for it happen.
Southampton 5-1 Millwall - fans' verdictpublished at 13:07 BST 31 August
13:07 BST 31 August
We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Championship match between Southampton and Millwall.
Here are some of your comments:
Southampton fans
Steve: 5-1 is a great result but weirdly we never dominated the game and I was nervous until we got the fourth. We are great when Azaz and Scienza get going but we lack creativity in the middle of the park and are not overly tough on that area, particularly when Downes isn't there.
We also need a good partner for Schlotterbeck if Taylor Harwood-Bellis goes and it's definitely not Jack Stephens. But we will see, it's not a bad start and we do have some quality.
Andy: If we're all honest, nobody saw this coming. However, I guess somebody was going to suffer a backlash after cup exit midweek. Now the 'minus points total' is history it's onwards and upwards - COYS.
Malcolm: Very good performance all round, just need to stop going a goal down before we start playing the way we can.

Millwall fans
Mr Darren: Alex Neil has to be held accountable for this awful result.
Eight players are out injured and majority are injuries picked up on the training pitch.
Michael: It's too early to say. We looked shaky at the back, Jake Cooper is getting older.
Julian: Hope Millwall FC can put the loss behind them and think of the next match. Come on, you Lions!
Pick of the stats: Southampton v Millwallpublished at 15:57 BST 27 August
15:57 BST 27 August
It is 36 year since Millwall last won their opening three games of a league season and they can repeat that feat with a victory at Southampton on Saturday (15:00 BST).
Southampton have not been beaten at home in the league since 17 January when Hull City left the south coast with a 2-1 win.
Millwall were one of just four teams to take at least four points from Southampton in the Championship last season alongside Hull City (6), Bristol City (4) and Middlesbrough (4) – the Lions won 3-2 at home and drew 0-0 away on New Year's Day.
Millwall have won two of their past three league games against Southampton (D1), this after winning just one of their prior 11 between 1988 and 2023 (D5 L5).
Southampton are unbeaten in each of their past 11 Championship home games (W8 D3), last having a longer run at St Mary's in the league between December 2010 and December 2011 (24).
After beating Bristol City and Norwich City by a combined 5-0 scoreline, Millwall are hoping to win their opening three matches of a league campaign for the first time since the 1990-91 season. The Lions have never won their opening three while keeping a clean sheet in each in club history.
No player has scored more Championship goals than Southampton's Cyle Larin since his debut in the competition on February 7th – he has netted 10 goals in 18 games at an average of one every 100 minutes.

Millwall currently sit top of the Championship with two wins in two but while the side reached the play-offs last season, some fans were not expecting such a fast start to their new campaign.
"The only thing that surprises me in how well we have started is the amount of injuries we've got," Chris Chapman from the 'Chats with the Chaps' podcast, external told BBC Radio London.
"You've got arguably two of the best players in the Championship in Femi Azeez and Tristan Crama, they are injured, and we've still been in able to put in that performance we did against Norwich.
"Tairyk Arconte looks like a real find. Stocky, powerful, quick - the perfect foil for [Josh] Coburn.
"For the first time as a Millwall fan, I feel like we've got options."
Luongo played 45 minutes for Millwall's under-21s as they were beaten 4-2 at home by Huddersfield Town in their opening Professional Development League game of the season on Tuesday.
He was replaced at half-time by Tristan Hamann-Chanes as he begins his quest to return to the Lions' first team.
The Australian international signed a new one-year contract with Millwall earlier this month having initially been released at the end of last season.

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's match between Millwall and Norwich City.
Here are some of your comments:
Millwall fans
Siddienam: Great start to the season. Squad bonding well, defence looking solid and attacking threats from different places. Loving so far, hopefully we can keep going like this. And keep Femi!
Rob: A real team performance holding the ball, carrying the ball. More direct than we have been at times. Norwich were out-thought in this one. Can we go again? Why not? COYL.
Bez: Totally outplayed Norwich today. Jensen Metcalfe ruled the midfield, Coburn was strong up front. In fact, the whole team were a force.
Philip: The tide is turning. Millwall could never beat Norwich for years. A five-goal difference after two games is amazing. It took most of last season to achieve that.
Terry: Well-deserved win against poor opposition. Millwall team energised, up for the game and in Norwich's faces from the word go. Great team performance, with five first-teamers out injured.

Norwich fans
Jamie: We were truly awful, that was the worst defensive display I've seen in a while, and we have the worst keeper in the league.
Peter: Dismal performance, a lot of players have hangovers. McLean, second week in a row, lacking pace and woeful with his passes. His partner Field was a perfect one out of 10 performance. The rest of the team - three out of 10 would be the best l could give them.
Mike: Norwich were second-best in every department. Good luck to Millwall, as they were quicker, sharper, more cohesive and skilful and worked well as a team. I was hopeful for promotion for Mr Clement's side (rather than expectant) but am busy resetting my sights...
Canary Kid: Flat. Just flat. How virtually the same team can put in two completely different performances in a week is baffling. Millwall were very good, and we could not match them in any area. A wake-up call for some who may have thought they could just turn up and turn it on.
Alan: Not surprised. All the hype for the new season. I think they will struggle again. They have no attacking goal scorers and clearly have problems in defence, the same as last year. They will lose against Burnley.
