Millwall FC are expected to receive a percentage of the transfer fee that takes the Nigeria eligible forward to the St. Mary's Stadium.

Edozie joined Manchester City from Millwall in 2019, with the Citizens beating off competiton from a plethora of Premier League clubs including Chelsea to land his services.

Pep Guardiola handed him his first team debut in 2021, leading City's attack alongside Riyad Mahrez and Ferran Torres in the 2021/2022 FA Community Shield.

Edozie, who was born in England, is eligible to play for either the Three Lions or the Super Eagles at international level.
