London-born Ajayi began his youth career at Charlton Athletic before signing a contract with the senior team and being loaned to non-league Dartford for a season. At the age of 20, he moved to Arsenal and despite playing in several friendlies for them and even being named on the substitutes bench for several Premier League games he never made the breakthrough. Instead, he was loaned to Cardiff City, who made his move permanent in 2015 - however he was again sent out on loan, this time to AFC Wimbledon then Crewe Alexandra. A third temporary move to Rotherham in League One ended up being the turning point for Ajayi as he not only secured a permanent move to the club but was impressive enough for West Brom to sign him. Last season as West Brom earned promotion back to the Premier League, Ajayi made 43 league appearances and scored five goals. West Brom could only secured three points from six matches in the 2020/2021 league season.
