Player to watch: Kenneth Taylor
The Dutch giants have always been able to recognise talent and this rings true in the case of Taylor as well since the young midfielder is having his breakout season in the Eredivisie. With six goals and five assists in the league, he is the player with most goal contributions in this Ajax team.
