Dolberg took the Eredevisie by storm last term

When a 19-year old is a starter for a club like Ajax, it just works as a testament to that player’s abilities. Added to that, when that said player scores 22 goals in all competitions from only 36 starts, while also providing 7 assists along the way, you just know that we are talking about someone very special.

Kasper Dolberg broke into the first team this season and made himself known around Europe with some fascinating displays for his club. His silky dribbling skills combined with the ability to make crunching passes in the final third made him one of the hardest players to defend against in the Eredivisie.

He is also a clinical finisher, something his goals stats have already revealed about him. While Kylian Mbappe is the most coveted teenager in the world, Dolberg is also worthy of the same attention if he continues to perform like this, expect him to be playing for a European supergiant by next year.
