Hull City are reportedly closing in on the signing of soon-to-be free agent Semi Ajayi, NigeriaSoccernet.com has gathered.
The former West Bromwich Albion and Arsenal defender is expected to become the club’s second summer acquisition under new boss Sergej Jakirovic.
Talks have progressed smoothly since it became clear Ajayi would not be extending his six-year stay at West Brom.
Highly rated for his composure, versatility, and leadership at the back, Ajayi’s arrival is seen as a key move by Hull to strengthen their defensive line and underline their ambitions for the upcoming Championship campaign.
The Super Eagles defender spent the last six years at West Brom, where he made over 170 appearances.
