Mika Godts is having an excellent season at Ajax. The young Belgian has put an end to his capriciousness and is performing at a consistently high level in Amsterdam. According to his agent, Niels de Jonck, the pay is based on work.

With 10 goals and 9 assists, Godts is doing well this season. In fact, if we only look at players under 23 years of age, only Lamine Yamal is more decisive for his team.

According to De Jonck, those figures belong to him. “Talent opens doors, but hard work keeps them open,” his player agent told the Belgian medium Sporza. “And Mika does that every day.”

“He is the first at the club and stays on the training field the longest to do extra exercises,” said the agent. “His goal is to become the best.”

In any case, Godts is one of the stars of the Eredivisie this season. It is therefore no surprise that some top clubs are after him. According to Football International Arsenal and FC Barcelona are keeping a close eye on him.

Napoli, AS Roma and VfB Stuttgart also have the wing attacker high on their scouting list. “The figures are logical,” says De Jonck. “But leaving Ajax was absolutely out of the question now.”

“He has an important goal: to play at least 100 matches (the count currently stands at 96, ed.) for Ajax. He wants to belong to that club, so a transfer was not possible anyway.”
