Nigeria international defender Semi Ajayi has been described as the closest defender to Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk who is widely regarded as one of the best defender in the world at the moment.
Ajayi was once again imperious at the back for West Brom over the weekend when they claim 3-2 win away to Birmingham City in what was his 22nd league game this season for the English Championship table toppers.
His performance at the heart of the defence alongside his former Arsenal youth teammate Kyle Bartley has been hailed as the best in the English second tier and Ajayi particularly has been compared to Van Dijk for his composure and commanding presence during the games.

Fans of West Brom have taken to the Nigerian as one of the backbone of their push to be in the English Premier League next season and the 26 year old is in line to be voted in the Championship team of the season if he maintains his performance till the end of the season.
