Ajax was looking for a striker because Brian Brobbey and Bertrand Traoré left for Sunderland on Monday. Wout Weghorst was the only striker in the main force. According to the policymakers, 19-year-old Don-Angelo Konadu is not yet ready for the big work. He has to develop further at Young Ajax for the time being.
Celtic rejected
Dolberg came to Ajax’s youth academy in 2015 and left for OGC Nice in mid -2019, where he could not fully realize great expectations. The French club rented him out to Seville and Hoffenheim. Dolberg was also in the interest of Celtic, but he rejected that club on Monday. He scored 45 times in 119 matches for Ajax.
Ajax has also strengthened itself with Oscar Gloukh, Raúl Moro, Ko Itakura, Vitzslav Jaros, James McConnell and Joeri Heerkens in recent months. According to Ajax, the transfer of Dolberg is the last to close the player market.
