Tolu Arokodare, 25, believes Ajax must return to the Champions League and aims to contribute with his goals and mentality. The Nigerian striker, who arrived at Ajax in July 2024 after a difficult Premier League campaign at Wolverhampton, emphasizes that the club has a winning mentality. 'Ajax always wants to be the best,' he says in an interview. Arokodare is committed to supporting the club in the Eredivisie and Champions League. He stresses that the Conference League is not Ajax's goal. 'With respect for the Conference League, Ajax wants to play in the Champions League,' the striker adds. His ambition goes beyond the current European campaign. He aims to be part of Ajax's recovery process, which requires a new attacking strategy after the transfer of Mika Godts to PSG (€55 million). Arokodare's physical attributes, such as his 1.97-meter height, make him a key attacker for Ajax. He can relieve defensive pressure and create space for the forwards. His goals would be crucial for a return to the Champions League. Arokodare emphasizes that the club must win in the Eredivisie to qualify for the Champions League. He already provided an assist on his Eredivisie debut against PEC Zwolle. His mental attitude aligns with the goals of coach Míchel, who emphasizes a 'fighter mentality.' Arokodare describes Míchel as a coach with the right qualities for Ajax. Although important, Arokodare cannot bring Ajax back to the Champions League alone. The club must also consistently defend and handle the pressure of the Eredivisie title. Arokodare's goals and creativity would be a significant contribution to Ajax's recovery.
