Ajax is eyeing 15-year-old Sporting Portugal striker Martim Ribeiro, according to Ajax Showtime. The highly rated forward is already playing above his age group and could move to Amsterdam as soon as he turns 16.<\/p>\n
Although officially still an U16 player, he already turns out for Sporting\u2019s U17 side and Portugal\u2019s U17 national team, underlining his advanced development.<\/p>\n
According to Ajax Showtime, the centre-forward is known as an agile and technically skilled attacker with a strong right foot.<\/p>\n
Ajax is active in the international youth market, focusing on countries such as Belgium, France, Portugal and Spain. Last winter, Samory Kon\u00e9 arrived from Anderlecht; administrative issues and an injury have delayed his debut.<\/p>\n
Kon\u00e9 will start with Ajax U16 but is expected to step up quickly, having already played for Anderlecht\u2019s U18s.<\/p>\n
Last summer the club also signed Eloi G\u00f3mez Saus from FC Barcelona, Rom\u00e9o Garnier from Paris Saint-Germain and Marvyn Muzungu from AJ Auxerre, underlining its commitment to a broad and talented youth academy.<\/p>\n
Alongside Ribeiro, Ajax is also monitoring Adam Ayari. The 18-year-old French forward\u2019s contract with Paris Saint-Germain is set to expire, putting him on the club\u2019s radar. The Dutch champions are clearly keeping their options open for the future.<\/p>\n
Ajax has already secured its first signing for the coming season with the arrival of Quincy Nelisse from Sparta Rotterdam. The 14-year-old forward will join Ajax U16 and chose the club over Feyenoord and PSV. Ajax expects to sign more young talents in the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ajax is eyeing 15-year-old Sporting Portugal striker Martim Ribeiro, according to Ajax Showtime.
