Janssen Questions Arokodare's Playing Time at Ajax

Former Netherlands midfielder Theo Janssen has raised concerns regarding Tolu Arokodare's playing time at Ajax, suggesting that his loan status may be a limiting factor despite Arokodare's strong performances. Janssen made these comments during an appearance on Ziggo Sport’s Rondo programme, indicating that Ajax's decision to sign Marcos Leonardo permanently could impact the coach's selection choices.

Arokodare, who has scored nine goals and provided three assists in 14 appearances since joining Ajax on a season-long loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers on July 29, scored the winning goal in Ajax's 2-1 victory over Sparta Rotterdam on October 25 and reached 100 career goals against Atalanta on October 22. Ajax is reportedly covering Arokodare's full wages and paying a loan fee, with additional payments tied to European qualification.

The agreement includes an option for Ajax to sign him permanently for approximately €22m, and Arokodare is open to a permanent move if salary terms improve.
