Afcon, FA Cup or League Cup? West Brom star Ajayi picks his dream title

West Bromwich Albion defender Semi Ajayi said he prefers winning the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) title with Nigeria to lifting the FA Cup or League Cup in England.

The England-born defender received his maiden invitation for the Super Eagles in August 2018 during the Afcon qualifiers against Seychelles and he made his debut in the fixture as a 73rd-minute substitute for Chidozie Awaziem.

Ajayi was disappointed to miss the 2019 Afcon in Egypt where Gernot Rohr's men finished third but he has fought his way back into the team, playing in their first two qualifying matches [vs Benin and Lesotho] for the 2021 tournament in Cameroon.
