Elite promise: Ajax fans hail 17‑year‑old Ouazane after Olympiakos win

Seventeen‑year‑old Abdellah Ouazane impressed Ajax fans in the recent friendly against Olympiakos, prompting the Amsterdam supporters to label the attacking midfielder an “elite” talent and to predict a breakthrough this season. He also netted the winning goal against AEK Larnaca and helped create the chance that saw Maher Carrizo strike the post.

Ouazane's move to Real Madrid collapsed last summer, underscoring the elite interest he commands.

In the Olympiakos friendly, the attacking midfielder entered after halftime and helped create the chance that saw Maher Carrizo hit the post.

Ajax fans argue that current midfielder Oscar Gloukh must now defend his place, as Ouazane is already knocking on the door.

The Amsterdam supporters unanimously praised the 17‑year‑old after the match, describing him as an absolute gem and expecting a breakthrough this season.

His performances against AEK Larnaca, where he scored the winner, and against Olympiakos illustrate why clubs like Real Madrid previously pursued him, highlighting the competitive market for elite youth talent.
