Ajax manager Míchel Sánchez has praised Tolu Arokodare following the striker’s impressive performance in the club’s 4-2 victory over Sion.
Arokodare made a significant impact after coming off the bench, registering a goal and an assist for the Eredivisie giants in the UEFA Europa Conference League playoff tie.
The Nigeria international replaced Marcos Leonardo in the 72nd minute and needed just two minutes to make his presence felt.
Arokodare found the net in the 74th minute to score Ajax’s third goal of the keenly contested encounter.
