Founded in the year of 1900, Ajax call the Johan Cruijff Arena in the Netherlands their home. They've established quite a legacy over the years, building up an impressive squad that currently holds a market value in the region of £155m, or thereabouts. This striking figure is provided by the good folk at Transfermarkt, a reliable source if ever there was.
At Ajax, there's a band of fifteen lads that constitute the playing squad, the average age of which is a respectable 26. A sprinkling of youth and experience, one might say, that lends a certain vigour to the team dynamic.
This season, the side has been flexing its muscles in three areas of competition. In the Dutch Eredivisie, they currently sit in 4th place, a position that naturally they'll be looking to improve upon. In the KNVB Beker, they've made their mark as far as the Round of 16, though it's clear they harbour ambitions to progress further still. And let's not forget the Champions League - they're in the thick of it in the League Phase, striving to make their presence felt. Competition, as they say, breeds excellence. Let's see where it takes Ajax from here.
