Player to Watch: Brian Brobbey
There is a lot of young talent in the Ajax squad, and one of those players is the 21-year-old Brian Brobbey. In his first season playing for the Amsterdam team, he is tied for the best scorer with eleven goals and added a couple of assists to his name. That stat is even more impressive because he started less than half of the games and played barely over 50 percent of the available minutes.
