Claudia Esposito, who handles exclusive interviews for TuttoAtalanta.com, has named Tolu Arokodare among the Ajax Amsterdam players known in Italy.
The Nigeria international attracted interest from Fiorentina and Genoa before agreeing a season-long loan deal with Ajax Amsterdam during the summer transfer window, following Wolverhampton Wanderers relegation to the Championship.
Italian Serie A clubs have managed to poach Nigerian stars from Ajax Amsterdam in the past, with Sunday Oliseh and Nwanwko Kanu joining Juventus and Inter Milan respectively during their playing days.
Arokodare has made a blistering start to life at Ajax Amsterdam, with seven goals and two assists in twelve all-competition appearances.
Speaking before Ajax’s UEFA Conference League meeting with Atalanta, Esposito highlighted Arokodare alongside several other talented players when discussing the quality within Ajax’s s squad.
He told Ajax Showtime: “”Ajax still possesses high-quality players and several promising young talents.
“Among the most interesting names are Oscar Gloukh, a talented attacking midfielder, Jorthy Mokio, a versatile midfielder, and Tolu Arokodare, a physically strong centre forward.
“The promising young Abdellah Ouazane is also worth mentioning. In addition, Julian Brandt is someone to keep a close eye on. The attacking midfielder stands out for his ability to create chances and score goals.”
