West Brom keen on swoop for Rotherham United star

West Brom are keen on signing Rotherham United’s Semi Ajayi.

The Baggies are hoping to strike a deal for the 25-year-old in this transfer window, according to journalist Alan Nixon on Twitter.

Ajayi, who can play in defence or midfield, impressed last season for the Millers in the Championship despite their relegation to League One and has been a man in-demand so far this summer.

West Brom boss Slaven Bilic is eager to bring in some players before the start of the season and could bolster his ranks by landing the 6ft 4inc man.

Ajayi, who is a Nigeria international with five caps to his name, scored eight goals in 49 appearances for Paul Warne’s Rotherham in the last campaign, having scored five the season prior to help them gain promotion to the second tier.

He started his career at Charlton Athletic and progressed through the youth ranks at the Valley. He had a brief loan stint at Dartford before he was snapped up by Arsenal as a youngster in 2013.

Ajayi never made a senior appearance for the Gunners and left for Cardiff City two years later. He had loan spells away at AFC Wimbledon and Crewe Alexandra before Rotherham signed him two years ago.

He has established himself as a key player for the Millers since then but they will face a major battle to hold onto his services this summer with West Brom looking to acquire him now.
