Mohammed Kudus is expected to start Ajax’s first UEFA Champions League game of the season on Wednesday against Rangers.
It’ll be the first time the Ghanaian is starting a match for Ajax since April 30 when he played 58 minutes against Zwolle in a league game.
The 22-year-old is set to replace Brian Brobbey upfront and play as a false 9 as he did for the most part of pre-season.
Kudus was linked with a move away from Ajax after seeing limited minutes at the beginning of the season.
Everton was interested and bid for the player, however, Ajax rejected believing that the midfielder is a crucial part of the club’s plans.
Kudus scored his first goal over the weekend against Cambuur after he replaced Brobbery at halftime over the weekend.
