Frank de Boer Advocates for Tolu Arokodare's Development

Frank de Boer, a legend of Ajax Amsterdam, has expressed his support for Tolu Arokodare, urging fans to be patient with the striker amid comparisons to Dutch football icons Marco van Basten and Patrick Kluivert. Arokodare joined Ajax on a season-long loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers during the summer transfer window, which includes an option to buy.

Since his arrival, the Nigeria international has made a significant impact, scoring seven goals and providing two assists in eleven appearances, despite starting only six matches. One of these starts occurred during a UEFA Conference League match against HNK Hajduk Split in Croatia, where he played the full 90 minutes but did not score.

De Boer emphasized the need for Ajax to provide Arokodare with crosses from the flanks to maximize his potential, acknowledging his technical skills and ability to contribute effectively to the team's performance.
