Nigerian defender Semi Ajayi has secured a place in the Premier League Team of the Week after an impressive outing against Arsenal.
The selection was made by football statistics platform WhoScored.com, following Hull City’s narrow 1-0 defeat to the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium last Saturday.
Martin Ødegaard scored the only goal of the encounter, striking 18 minutes before full-time to hand Arsenal all three points.
Despite the defeat, Ajayi stood out defensively, making four clearances and completing 85.7 per cent of his passes.
The 33-year-old has scored once in 10 league appearances for Hull City this season and has also been included in Nigeria’s squad for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Tanzania.
