Tolu Arokodare says he has moved on from his difficult spell at Wolverhampton Wanderers and is focused on improving at Ajax after scoring his first goal for the Dutch giants in their 4-2 UEFA Conference League play-off win over FC Sion on Thursday, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The Nigerian striker came off the bench in the 72nd minute and needed just 43 seconds to make an impact, rising above the Sion defence to head Ajax ahead after the hosts had fought back to level.
Arokodare then turned provider in the 87th minute, setting up Davy Klaassen for Ajax’s fourth goal to complete an impressive cameo in Switzerland.
Reflecting on his start to life at Ajax, the 25-year-old said he was determined to learn from his past without allowing his previous struggles to affect his new chapter.
“I don’t think there’s a real reason or there’s a real excuse. I think it’s part of the game,” Arokodare told ESPN.
