Rotherham United’s Semi Ajayi has stated that he’s honoured after receiving a dream call-up to the Nigeria national team.
The centre-back, alongside Paderborn left-back Jamilu Collins, was one of the few surprises in Gernot Rohr’s 24-man squad for the Super Eagles’ African Cup of Nation qualifying match against Seychelles billed for September 8.
And the former Arsenal youth prospect, whose only run with the country came in June 2013 while playing for the U20s in the Toulon tournament, is delighted with the invite.
Always dreamt of representing my country at senior level.
