"Kanu is my idol in African football, Thierry Henry is my idol in Europe. In Egypt, my idols are (former Ahly playmaker) Mohamed Abou-Treika and (current striker) Emad Meteb," Ajayi told
Ahly's official website
"There were a couple of options including from European clubs, but I eventually preferred to join Ahly. The club's pedigree is not less than Real Madrid or Chelsea.
