Hull City defender Semi Ajayi is set to step into what could be the defining fixture of his career, with the Super Eagles centre-back preparing for the Championship playoff final at Wembley as his side chase a return to the Premier League.
The showdown is scheduled for May 23, and it is being billed as one of the most lucrative matches in the sport. The prize for the victor is potentially enormous, with the successful club able to generate more than £200 million when broadcasting income, sponsorship and wider commercial deals are combined.
Ajayi will be looking to provide a key presence at the heart of Hull’s back line as they aim to secure promotion and complete a move back to England’s top tier.
Despite growing attention around his future, the Swedish club linked with his services are said to be under no urgent pressure to sell. Reports also suggest they regard the Nigerian defender as a “generational” talent, implying they are prepared to hold their position rather than cash in immediately.
