English Premier League club, Watford watched Super Eagles defender Semi Ajayi in action this past weekend.

According to clubcall.com, a scout from the Hertfordshire-based club was in the stands on Saturday to run the rule over the players that displayed their wares at Portman Road in the game between Ipswich Town and Rotherham United on Saturday.

The object of attraction has been touted to be Ipswich's 19-year-old forward, Jack Lankester who has had a breakout season with his side, piquing interests from a host of Premier League clubs.

Ajayi was deployed to play in front of centre backs, Raggert and Robertson in the encounter and was the best rated defensive-minded player on his team, as per Whoscored.

While Ajayi lasted the entire duration of the game, former Liverpool youth-teamer, Michael Ihiekwe was a non-playing substitute for the Millers.

The 25-year-old joined Rotherham from Cardiff City in 2017 and comes off contract with the club in the summer of 2020.
