Currently, Ajax has accumulated 48 points this season. Their remaining fixtures include matches against Heracles Almelo, NAC Breda, PSV, FC Utrecht, and sc Heerenveen. Historically, Ajax has struggled against FC Utrecht, having won just once in their last five meetings.

FC Utrecht is currently positioned in ninth place, only one point behind Sparta Rotterdam, while sc Heerenveen is unbeaten in their last five matches and sits just four points behind Ajax. This competitive landscape raises concerns for Ajax as they aim to secure a spot in European competitions.

In a related development, Ajax is reportedly interested in signing Zadok Yohanna, a player currently with AIK. Zadok has been attracting attention from multiple clubs, including Chelsea, following his recent performances, including a goal scored in the 83rd minute during AIK’s 2-1 victory over Halmstads BK.

Zadok Yohanna moved to AIK in June 2025, signing a contract that runs until December 31, 2029. AIK’s head of recruitment has acknowledged the foreign interest in the player, indicating that the club is likely to demand around €15 million for his transfer.

Miika Takkula, AIK’s head of recruitment, commented on the situation, stating, “He has started the season well so it is obvious that there is interest from outside, which is positive for the player and for the club.” This interest from Ajax could signify a potential shift in their strategy as they look to strengthen their squad.

As the season progresses, observers are closely watching Ajax’s performance and their ability to secure a place in European competitions. There are concerns that Ajax may finish the season in seventh place, which would mean missing out on European competition altogether.

With the pressure mounting, Ajax’s upcoming matches will be crucial in determining their fate in the league and their potential transfer activities.
