Ajayi Keen To Extend Al Ahly Contract, Reveals Arsenal Interest

Former Nigeria U-23 star Junior Ajayi has sensationally declared his willingness to extend his contract with his Egyptian club Al Ahly but hints that his future could be made clearer after the World Cup in Russia this summer.

Ajayi has two years left in his contract and made his senior international debut in Nigeria's international friendly against Serbia on March 27 in London.

''I don’t mind renewing with Al Ahly,” Ajayi bared his mind to Egyptian TV channel CBC Extra according to a report on KingFut.

''I still have a couple of years left in my contract but I would be happy if Al Ahly want to renew my contract.

''I don’t know what will happen in the future. I am currently focused on Al Ahly to accomplish our goals and I’m happy to be at one of Africa’s greatest clubs.

"We are better this season than last one in the Champions League. We understand it’s a tough mission, but we will work on winning the title for the fans as we know how important the competition means.''

The report further stated that the forward  named Arsenal as his preferred destination in Europe with Gunners legend Thierry Henry as his role model.

He also expressed his admiration for former Egypt midfielder Mohamed Abou-Treika.
