Ajax talents receive praise from Ronald de Boer

Former Ajax player and analyst Ronald de Boer has expressed high praise for two emerging talents at Ajax: attacking midfielder Abdellah Ouazane and central defender Aaron Bouwman.

De Boer noted stylistic similarities between the seventeen-year-old Ouazane and Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham, describing him as an “exceptional talent” with a humble attitude. Ajax manager Míchel Sánchez has also suggested that Ouazane has the potential to become one of the best players in the world, following his decisive performance in a Europa League match against Atalanta Bergamo.

Regarding Aaron Bouwman, De Boer highlighted the nineteen-year-old defender's significant development, specifically noting his ability to dribble, his passing range, and his physical growth. Statistics support De Boer's assessment, showing that Ajax has lost only two of the 23 official matches in which Bouwman has started.
