” href=”https://www.fcupdate.nl/voetballers/oliver-valaker-edvardsen”>Oliver Edvardsen, if it is up to Fred Grim, will also play for Ajax in the second half of the season, the coach said at his press conference after the game with Villarreal (1-2 win). The Norwegian was named last week as one of five players who may leave this winter.

Ajax is trying to sell the necessary players again this winter. Football International reported last week that in addition to Edvardsen, Anton Gaaei, Owen Wijndal, Kian Fitz-Jim and Branco van den Boomen may also leave. Only the latter is of that group currently on the way to the exit at Ajax.

On a visit to Villarreal, Edvardsen scored the winning goal just before the end. At the press moment after the match, Grim is asked whether he wants to keep the winger. “He is a great player and a great person. So he certainly won’t get in the way,” the interim coach makes his position clear.

Grim also showed in his interview with Ziggo Sport that he was a supporter of Edvardsen. “I think Ollie has made a great appearance as a striker and will score the winner,” the coach said with a broad smile on his face.
