What does a full day look like for a player being unveiled at Ajax? Here's a look through the eyes of our brand-new Ajacied: Oscar Gloukh. The club’s new number ten will play with 'Oscar' on the back of his shirt.
Our photographer followed him throughout the day. Here's a selection of the final results.
Oscar Gloukh is delighted to be an Ajax player. The midfielder is looking forward to playing in the Johan Cruijff ArenA, where he hopes to entertain the fans. "I love to dribble, pass, score and provide assists," Gloukh said in his first interview as an Ajax player. "And I bring energy to the team."
The number 10 shirt carries expectations. That's true at Ajax, and it certainly applies to the rest of the football world as well. Creativity, technical skill, finesse, and leadership – all qualities that define the (Amsterdam) 'number tens'. Throughout Ajax history, a wide variety of players have worn the magical number on their back. Oscar Gloukh is our newest number 10.
