Ajax's Abdullah Ouzan Vows to Compete with Oscar Gloukh for Starting Spot

Ajax's young Moroccan talent Abdullah Ouzan, 17, who wears number 10 in training, has expressed his determination to compete with Israeli player Oscar Gloukh for a starting position. Ajax is preparing for their second leg match against Vojvodina in the Conference League on Thursday, following a 4-1 victory in the first game where Gloukh scored the third goal. Ouzan, who joined Ajax last season and quickly became a fan favorite, assisted the fourth goal in the previous match. Despite Gloukh officially holding the number 10 jersey, Ouzan has been wearing it during preparations, signaling his ambition to claim that role.

In a recent interview in the Netherlands, Ouzan acknowledged the intense competition for the attacking midfield position, stating, "I need to fight for my place in the team, and the moment of truth will be on Thursday. There is a lot of competition for the position, but I will keep working hard. I think my main competition is with Oscar Gloukh, that is the position I am focused on. We will see what happens with him." Ajax fans and observers are watching closely as the club balances the talents of these two promising players ahead of the upcoming fixtures.
