Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare announced his arrival at Ajax in style, finding the back of the net on his debut as the Dutch giants cruised to a 3-1 pre-season victory over FC Volendam at the Kras Stadion on Sunday.
The Nigerian forward, who recently joined Ajax on a season-long loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers with an option for a permanent transfer, made an immediate impact after replacing Marcos Leonardo in the 71st minute.
Arokodare capped an impressive cameo by capitalising on a defensive error inside the Volendam penalty area, reacting quickest to a miscued clearance before calmly firing home to complete Ajax’s victory.
His strike rounded off an encouraging afternoon for the Amsterdam club after Marcos Leonardo had doubled their advantage following Anton Gaaei’s opening goal.
The debut goal offers an ideal start for the 25-year-old, who will be hoping to revive his career in the Netherlands after a frustrating spell in England.
