Nigeria international, Tolu Arokodare, has been nominated for Ajax Amsterdam’s Goal of the Month award for August following his impressive start to life at the Dutch club.
The Wolverhampton Wanderers loanee is one of 10 players shortlisted for the monthly prize after scoring four goals for Ajax last month.
Arokodare’s nominated strike came against Sion in the UEFA Conference League qualifier at the Johan Cruijff ArenA.
Five minutes into the second half, the 25-year-old produced a close-range finish to complete his brace in the encounter.
The striker’s effort will compete with goals scored by Pharrell Nash, Anton Gaaei, Abdellah Ouazane, Julian Brandt, Davy Klaassen, Oliver Edvardsen, Emre Ünüvar, Diego Pugno and Isa Benyahia for the award.
Since joining Ajax, Arokodare has also scored against Sion in the first leg, Telstar and PSV Eindhoven.
He has additionally provided assists against PEC Zwolle and Sion.
The Nigerian striker has started three of the seven matches he has featured in for the Amsterdam-based club, playing a total of 281 minutes.
Fans can vote for their preferred goal as Ajax prepares to announce its August Goal of the Month winner.
