According to Footynaija, Semi Ajayi’s outstanding performance against Arsenal earned him a spot in the Premier League Team of the Week.
According to football stats website WhoScored.com, this squad was chosen.
Last Saturday, Ajayi played well in Hull City’s 1-0 loss against Arsenal, his previous club, at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners were able to secure all three points thanks to the decisive goal scored by Norwegian midfielder Martin Ødegaard 18 minutes from the end of the game.
In a fiercely contested match, the Nigerian center back produced an outstanding 85.7% passing accuracy and made four clearances.
With Hull City this season, Ajayi has made 10 league appearances and scored once.
As for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, the 33-year-old will play in both of Nigeria’s matches against Tanzania.
