Ajax consider move for Genk forward Noah Adedeji-Sternberg after signing Tolu Arokodare

Ajax are considering a move for Nigerian-eligible forward Noah Adedeji-Sternberg as the Eredivisie club continue to reshape their squad during the current summer transfer window.

The young attacker has attracted attention after a series of impressive performances for Genk, where he has established himself as one of the Belgian club’s brightest emerging talents. His progress has now brought him to the attention of Ajax, who are planning for the new campaign.

According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the Amsterdam club could step up their interest in Adedeji-Sternberg before the transfer window closes.

Ajax are understood to be assessing a move for the forward if Belgian winger Mika Godts leaves the club. Paris Saint-Germain are among the sides reported to be interested in Godts, and his possible departure could create an opening for Ajax to strengthen their attacking options.

Adedeji-Sternberg is viewed as a player who could bring quality, pace and creativity to the Ajax frontline. The club also believe the Nigerian-eligible forward would fit their longer-term plans for developing young players.

Their interest comes after the arrival of Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare, who joined Ajax on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Dutch club are continuing to look at ways of adding further attacking quality, with Adedeji-Sternberg emerging as a potential target.

The forward’s development at Genk has made him an attractive option for Ajax, particularly as the club consider how their attack could change before the start of the new season. His performances have also helped generate interest from several European clubs.

For Ajax, a potential move would represent an opportunity to add another promising young attacker while maintaining their focus on future development. The club are reportedly weighing up whether to make their interest more concrete, depending in part on Godts’ situation.

Adedeji-Sternberg now faces a period of uncertainty as he considers what comes next in his career. With the new campaign approaching quickly, he will be hoping to resolve his future and continue his growth and development.

No transfer has been confirmed, but Ajax could intensify their pursuit before the end of the summer window if the circumstances around Godts change. Their reported interest places Adedeji-Sternberg among the young attacking players being considered as the Amsterdam club prepare for the season ahead.
