Ajax started preparing for the new season last week and the Amsterdam club did so with a few ‘old acquaintances’. Ünüvar was back and so were players such as Youri Baas and Owen Wijndal. The trio played on loan for FC Twente, NEC and Royal Antwerp respectively last season.
Several clubs are said to be interested in Ünüvar, Van Duijn reports. He could, among other things, go to NEC, although trainer Rogier Meijer would prefer another player for that position. “More clubs want Ünüvar, but for now just Ajax,” said the Voetbal International journalist.
Ünüvar Quarry
For years, Ünüvar was considered a great promise in the Ajax youth academy. Hardly anyone doubted that the playmaker would make it in the club’s first team. However, the player with Turkish roots is still waiting for his definitive breakthrough at Ajax.
In recent seasons, Ünüvar was loaned out to the Turkish Trabzonspor and to FC Twente. He could not count on a starting place at either club. At FC Twente, Ünüvar played nineteen games last season. He played ‘only’ 495 minutes. The creative was good for three goals and three assists.
The competition for Ünüvar is also fierce at Ajax. At ‘ten’ he has to deal with players such as Steven Berghuis, Kenneth Taylor and Kristian Hlynsson, while at left winger he has to compete with players such as Steven Bergwijn, Mika Godts and Carlos Forbs. The question is therefore whether Ünüvar still has a future at Ajax. He may be able to prove himself to trainer Francesco Farioli during the preparation. He himself recently said the following: ‘I hope to make minutes at Ajax and if I get that opportunity, I will grab it with both hands.’
