Official : West Brom's Ajayi, QPR's Eze Named In EFL Team Of The Week

Published: September 16, 2019

West Brom defender Semi Ajayi and Queens Park Rangers attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze have been named in the official English Football League Team of the Week, a reward for their outstanding displays on game week seven.

An ever present for The Baggies in the starting line-up this season, the Nigeria international netted a crucial equaliser as his team played out a 1-1 draw with fellow promotion hopefuls Fulham at Craven Cottage.

It was his first goal for West Brom since he joined the club from Rotherham United in the summer transfer window.

Last season, Eze announced himself to English and Nigerian fans as a player to keep an eye on and he has continued to impress in the new campaign, with his goal against Luton Town his third of the season.

The England youth international is credited with two assists so far in the 2019-2020 campaign.

In the EFL Team of the Week managed by Rotherham United coach Paul Warne, Ajayi was deployed as a central defender while Eze was the right midfielder in a 3-4-3 formation.

The QPR wonderkid was handed a late call-up to the England U21 squad for the Euro qualifiers against Turkey and Kosovo but was a non-playing sub in both matches.
