Semi Ajayi ‘honoured’ after making Nigeria debut in Seychelles win

By Daily Sports on September 9, 2018

Semi Ajayi feels ‘honoured’ after making his international debut for Nigeria in their 3-0 win over Seychelles in Saturday's African Cup of Nations qualifying game.

The Rotherham United defender was introduced for injured right-back Chidozie Awaziem in the 73rd minute of the encounter and put in a decent showing to help the Super Eagles see out a comfortable victory.

And following his maiden appearance for the Super Eagles, the former Cardiff player has taken to the social media to show his excitement.

“Was an honour to make my international debut today,” Ajayi tweeted.

“Humbled to finally represent my country at the highest level and even more grateful to mark it with a win and clean sheet. Thank you God.”

Nigeria take on Libya in the next qualifying game on October 9 and the former Nigeria youth international will be hoping to continue his progress with the team. (Goal.com)

The Nigeria striker made this assertion while reflecting on his protracted summer transfer saga that saw Napoli desperately sell him off to Al-Ahli and Chelsea in the embers of the window, with the latter his long-term choice destination offering peanuts for his signature. The 25-year-old said that he was prepared to remain at Napoli for another three or four months and secure a move to one of his suitors in January, reiterating the relief ushered by the Galatasaray offer. “I had plans to stay there and wait for three or four months and leave in January, but I think for me it was fair also to stay there because I wouldn’t let anyone decide for me,” Osimhen told Turkish media, including TRT Spor, from the Galatasaray training centre.
