Cruyff Speaks On Arokodare’s Future

Cruyff has now provided a positive update on the striker’s future, confirming that the major details of a potential permanent move, including his salary, have already been settled.

“Everything has already been arranged. His salary too, although he did ask for a pay rise at the last press conference,” Cruyff told Ziggo Sport.

“He’s doing well. I remember that when we signed him, there was a lot of talk about him coming from a relegated team and all that usual chatter. But he has settled in very well.

“He has a good mentality, he’s a team player, and that’s important. I hope he continues like this. Strikers have their ups and downs.”

Cruyff’s comments suggest that Ajax are well-positioned to secure Arokodare’s long-term future, with the striker’s impressive performances strengthening his case for a permanent stay in Amsterdam.
