Ajax hoped to strengthen itself during the winter break of last season with an extra option for the wings. For a long time, it seemed like Raúl Moro was going to be that, but he unfortunately got injured and therefore stayed with his previous club, Real Valladolid, for another six months before moving to Amsterdam last summer. Instead of Moro, Ajax ended up with Edvardsen in the winter, who was released from Go Ahead for around three million euros.

Until the dismissal of John Heitinga, Edvardsen played regularly for Ajax this season. However, his successor, Fred Grim, removed the Norwegian from the starting line-up after two lost games, and since then he has only made a short appearance in the away game at Telstar last weekend (2-3 win). Edvardsen is also mentioned as one of the players who would be eligible to leave Ajax this winter, with or without a loan. “I’m pretty sure they are open to selling or renting me,” the player himself confirms. “It’s a difficult choice, we’ll see. It also depends on what comes next.”
Edvardsen is then asked whether he regrets his transfer. “I don’t want to call it that,” is his first reaction, but then he says: “Maybe a little bit sometimes.” Next Sunday his previous employer will visit Amsterdam. Could a temporary or permanent return to Deventer be an option? “We have not spoken to each other,” Edvardsen himself says.
