Tolu Arokodare has received two nominations for Ajax’s Goal of the Month award for October, DAILY POST reports.
The Nigerian striker was shortlisted for his impressive strikes against Atalanta in the UEFA Europa Conference League and AZ Alkmaar in the Eredivisie.
Against Atalanta, Arokodare showcased his attacking quality by beating a defender before calmly slotting the ball past the goalkeeper after controlling a long pass from Youri Baas.
The 25-year-old also proved decisive against AZ Alkmaar, rising above defender Mees de Wit to power home the winning goal just nine minutes into the encounter.
Arokodare enjoyed an impressive October, scoring four goals in six league appearances for Ajax.
Other players nominated for the award include Abdellah Ouazane, Davy Klaassen, Leo Salazar, Abdoulaye Camara and Naoufal Mouslim.
