Nigeria Super Eagles forward Tolu Arokodare has been nominated for Ajax's Goal of the Month award, recognised for a stunning strike in the club's UEFA Europa Conference League fixture against Sion.

The 25-year-old netted five minutes into the second half to complete a brace — capping an all-round impressive showing on the night. His effort was part of a fruitful month in which he scored four goals for the Eredivisie outfit.

Stiff competition from teammates

Arokodare faces a competitive field of nominees. He goes head-to-head with Pharrell Nash, Anton Gaaei, Abdellah Ouazane, and Julian Brandt for the prize.

Further contenders include Davy Klaassen, Oliver Edvardsen, Emre Ünüvar, Diego Pugno, and Isa Benyahia, making it a wide-open contest for the monthly honour.

Loan spell in Amsterdam

Arokodare is currently at Ajax on a season-long loan from Sky Bet Championship club Wolverhampton Wanderers, and his form in recent weeks has underlined the value he brings to the Amsterdam side.
