Ajax-supporters roar for loanee ‘Die’: a thirty‑goal promise ignites Amsterdam

Ajax-supporters erupted after the 20‑minute cameo of Nigerian loanee Tolu Arokodare on Sunday in Amsterdam, with many chanting ‘Die will score thirty’ as he netted his first Ajax goal during the 3‑1 win over Volendam in a match that saw the Dutch giants dominate the second half.

Arokodare was presented earlier this week in Amsterdam, giving the local fanbase a chance to meet the towering striker before his debut, and the loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers marks his first spell in Dutch football while adding depth to Ajax’s attacking options.

De Amsterdamse supporters were impressed by the Nigeriaanse forward, praising his physical presence and calmness during the brief spell on the pitch, and their enthusiasm grew as he slipped into the game after the break.

Tijdens the Ajax‑FC Volendam encounter, Arokodare capitalised on a hesitant Volendam keeper to score his inaugural goal for the club, confirming the hype that had surrounded his arrival.

The match concluded with Ajax securing a 3‑1 victory, and at 16:45 the club posted an update highlighting the immediate impact of the loanee, underscoring the significance of his contribution.

Reactions poured in on X, where supporters lauded the Nigeriaanse striker’s impact and predicted a productive season for the loan player, echoing the chant that ‘Die will score thirty’ across the capital.
