Championship club West Brom have confirmed the capture of former Arsenal U23 skipper Semi Ajayi.

The central defender has inked a four-year deal with the Baggies after spending the last two and a half years of his career as a professional at relegated Rotherham United.

For the forthcoming season, Ajayi , who is also comfortable playing as a defensive midfielder, will wear the number six jersey.

Commenting on the deal, the Super Eagles star told West Brom's official website : ''It’s a great opportunity for me. I want to play at the highest level and I have joined a club with the ambition to get there.

''I want to play my part in helping the team get promoted because that is definitely the target.''
