As English premier league side West Bromwich Albion continues to fight for its survival in the top tier, Nigeria's Super Eagles defender Semi Ajayi has set the target of scoring more goals for the team, BSNSports.com.ng reports.
The Nigeria international scored vital goals for the Hawthorns last season and was instrumental to their promotion to the premier league.
Ajayi scored against Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend as West Bromwich secured a vital 3-2 away win at the Molineux stadium.
“It was such a great feeling to score in a derby.
“You could see from my celebration how much I enjoyed it.
“We knew how much that game meant to the supporters and it was fantastic to reward them with three big points.
“I’m loving the fact I’m scoring goals at the moment. I’ve scored in my last three games away from home and I want to keep scoring.
“My job as a defender is to stop goals going in, but if I can chip in at the other end too then that can only help the team.
“It was really nice to get my first Premier League goal a couple of weeks ago at Anfield.
“It was definitely something I’ve been wanting to add to my game this year.
“I knew that I had to chip in with goals, and up until recently I hadn’t managed to do that.
“Hopefully I can add a few more before the end of the season to help the team pick up points," he told the club media.
The 27-year-old has bagged eight in 63 appearances for the Baggies since joining from Rotherham United in July 2019, where he netted 14 times in two-and-a-half seasons.
