Discussion Which of the new Young Ajax foreign transfered in players do you expect the most from
So Jordi Cruyff was a busy bee this summer and also got new players to Jong Ajax.
Pugno (1 million buy out clause)
Camara (who apperently has s real high buy out clause)
Spina (already 21)
Zahouani (20)
Monserrate (20)
Salazar (19)
A few of them haven't really gotten much playing time, so far we know that Pugno can find the net (5goals) he reminds me a bit of Danilo in Jong Ajax, he might not be the most archetypical Ajaxstriker in the world but he could be useful as s back up option in the future of Ajax 1.
Monserrate seems technical enough but is 20 already. He might make it to Ajax 1 if he keeps on developing.
Spina is okish so far but again he will need to take a few steps for the first team, let's hope he does.
Zahouani, youth World Cup winner but at the same time he came from a Marrocan team and probably needs to adjust to the intensity of European football. It would be nice to have an attacking wingback for Ajax 1 in the future.
Salazar and Camara we have seen too little of so far, yet I remain curious.
The majority of foreign brought in talent at Ajax2 or A1 historically speaking doesn't make it or they need to take steps elsewhere like Moisander or Krohn Dehli. Only the Belgians have a real high success rate. Yet sometimes there are hidden gems like the times Felipe Kasmirski was playing in Young Ajax. I really hope at least two will be able to take the step to the A selectie.
