The future of Rotherham United defender, Semi Ajayi remains up in the air heading into the final weeks of pre-season, with West Brom reportedly eyeing a move for him according to Sky Sports' Transfer Centre (19th July, 10:08am).

The London-born centre-back caught the eye with a number of impressive performances for Paul Warne's side last term, with Slaven Bilic's side edging closer to completing a deal to sign Ajayi.

In our latest FLW Spotlight, we look into Ajayi's statistics from last year's league campaign in more detail.

Ajayi was a regular for Rotherham last season, starting every league game for the Millers, although he was unable to stop them from being relegated to League One.

The first statistic that you're probably drawn to is his goal tally from last year's league campaign, which finished at seven from centre-back.

The 25-year-old made himself a real threat from set-pieces, and that's clear to see, as he scored on seven occasions from defence for a Rotherham side that struggled for consistent goals for the majority of their season.

Ajayi won 414 aerial duels as well last term, which shows that he could be the ideal player to fill the sizeable void by Craig Dawson, who left in favour of a move to Watford.

The Baggies are known for being a threat from set-pieces themselves, so it would be the perfect match if they were to strike a deal to sign Ajayi ahead of the new season.

The statistics show that he was a busy man in the Rotherham team, who were on the back foot for a number of their games in the Championship.

Ajayi made 236 interceptions and 126 clearances in total for the Millers, and without him in their side, they would have been relegated a lot sooner than they were from the second tier of English football.

Rotherham were known for playing a direct style of football last season, but Ajayi's passing accuracy makes for good reading for any potential suitors.

In total, he attempted 1017 passes (according to Wyscout), and with a pass success rate of 72.6% in a struggling Rotherham team, he found a team-mate with a pass more times than not.

The defender is hitting his best form at the right time, which has seen West Brom reportedly make their move to try and sign him before the new Championship season gets underway.

These statistics show that Ajayi is arguably too good to be playing his football in League One next season, and West Brom could be the ideal club for the 25-year-old to fulfil his exciting potential.
