Official : Ex Arsenal Defender Semi Ajayi Pens Two - Year Deal With Cardiff City

Through official channels, English Championship side Cardiff City have announced the acquisition of ex Nigeria Under 20 international Semi Ajayi.

The central defender has appended his signature to a two - year deal that will see him remain at the Bluebirds until June 30, 2017.

Three months ago, Semi Ajayi arrived the Cardiff City Stadium on loan from Arsenal but did not get to make a single appearance for the Welsh side before the season ended.

The 21 - year - old was on the payroll of Charlton Athletic before he signed for Arsenal in 2013 after starring for the Flying Eagles at the Toulon Tournament that summer.

Semi Ajayi has committed his future to Nigeria even though he is eligible to represent the Three Lions.
