Oscar Gloukh Assists in Ajax's Dominant Victory, Commits to Club

Israeli midfielder Oscar Gloukh recorded his first assist of the 2026/27 season on Sunday, contributing to Ajax's decisive 4-0 away win against Telstar. This performance ended a six-game streak across all competitions without a goal or assist for Gloukh, whose last significant contribution was a hat-trick against Vojvodina in the Conference League qualifiers.

Gloukh's assist came in the second half during a swift counter-attack. He patiently waited for an opening before finding Steven Bergwijn, who scored Ajax's second goal. Dutch media outlets praised Gloukh's play, with ajaxshowtime noting his patience and ability to find Bergwijn, who then cut past a defender and scored with his weaker foot. Inside020 also highlighted the assist, stating Gloukh waited for his opportunity as Tolo Oladapo made a strong run into the box, setting up Bergwijn's goal.

Despite recent rumors linking him with a potential transfer, Gloukh publicly reaffirmed his commitment to Ajax before the match. In an interview with Dutch media, he stated, "I will stay at Ajax for the upcoming season. I feel comfortable under the new coach, [Jens] Toornstra, and I want to improve."
