Nigeria forward Junior Ajayi is close to renewing his contract with Egyptian giants, Al Ahly, reports Promptnewsonline.com.
Ajayi joined Al Ahly from Tunisian side CS Sfaxien in 2016 and has been a crucial first team player ever since. He played 80 games across all competitions scoring 24 goals and provided 19 games.
The 24-year-old won the Egyptian Premier League twice, the Egyptian Cup and the Egyptian Super Cup.
“Ajayi is one the verge of signing a new contract, only the final touches are missing,” Al Ahly director of football , Sayed AbdelHafiz said.
“It will be done in a couple of days.
“What slowed the proceeds is that we didn’t have any rest since returning from Tanzania.
“We then had a very important game against Entag El-Harby in the league, we will end everything soon.”
Al Ahly are currently second on the Egyptian League table with 42 points. They will face El Dakhleya in their next game on February 20.
