The agent of Nigeria international defender Semi Ajayi has explained why his client decided to join English Championship side following the expiration of his deal with fellow Championship side West Bromwich Albion.
Ajayi spent the last seven seasons with West Bromwich Albion, a team he joined from Rotherham United playing a total of 170 goals , where he found the back of the net 12 times from his role as a center back.
He also broke into the senior national team of Nigeria playing a total of 39 games, cementing his spot at the heart of the defence in the past two years and also had a top star performance at the last AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire, where Nigeria finished as runners up behind the host.
At club level, his next destination was a cause for concern but his agent Larry Orban says a move to Hull City is highly likely after positive talks between all parties involved in the deal.
” I spoke to someone who is close to Ajayi over an offer for him elsewhere, but his agent has already agreed a deal with Hull City. His reason was that they have long being interested in him so I told my people to look for another option”, a licensed agent in London told OwnGoalNigeria.com.
