The Ajax striker left in 2019 for French side OGC Nice, taking a league title, KNVB Cup and Johan Cruyff Shield with him. Six years later, with experience in France, Spain, Germany and Belgium, he has returned to familiar ground. And that feels good for the Dane.
"I wanted to come back to Ajax for the club, for everything really. I have great memories here. When the opportunity arose to return, I didn’t hesitate. I also lived here for four years and I’ve missed Ajax all those years."
A message from Davy
The Ajacied will certainly reunite with one teammate from his first spell: Davy Klaassen. "He sent me a message when he heard the rumours. At that time it wasn’t final yet. I told him: I hope it’s sorted soon. When it became official, he congratulated me."
Dolberg has a clear goal upon his return. "I’m here to win. To become league champions with Ajax. That’s the most important thing. Personally, I just want to enjoy myself again, have fun. And of course, I want to score plenty of goals."
A fit Dolberg
Ideally, the Ajax striker would already feature this coming Saturday against PEC Zwolle. "Yes, I’m ready. I’ve already played plenty of matches. I feel good and I’m fit. I also have good memories of matches against PEC Zwolle. I’m certain it’s going to be fantastic to play in the Johan Cruyff ArenA again."
