The Danish international defender Anton Gaaei was born on 19th November 2002 and currently plies his trade with Dutch outfit Ajax, wearing the number 3 jersey. Standing at a sturdy 6 foot tall (roughly 1.83m) and weighing in at a solid 11 stone 6 pounds (approximately 73kg), Gaaei is a physical presence on the pitch who primarily fashions himself as a right back.
According to his profile on Transfermarkt, Gaaei's market value currently sits at around €7.00m, which is approximately £6.00m. He is contracted with Ajax for quite some time yet, with his current deal running until 30th June 2028.
Gaaei honed his skills at Viborg of his homeland, where he made his debut in the 2021 - 2022 season. He featured in five matches that season and made a solid 27 appearances in the following one. His successful early career was reflected in his numbers, as even though his appearances dwindled to 4 in the 2023-2024 season, he successfully transferred to Ajax later that year.
In the 2023 - 2024 season Gaaei was a consistent figure for Ajax, making 25 appearances and scoring once. Simultaneously he also made eight appearances for Jong Ajax, the club's reserve team. Gaaei's commitment to his new club saw him remain in the Netherlands, where he continued to perform well, scoring three times in 25 appearances in the 2024 - 2025 season. A future at Ajax is clear, with him scheduled to play for the side in the 2025 - 2026 season as well.
Gaaei has also represented his country on the international playing field, featuring three times in the UEFA U21 Qualifiers in 2025. His European experience is further supplemented by his participation in several tournaments including the Europa League in 2023 - 2024 and 2024 - 2025, the KNVB Beker in 2024 - 2025, and the Conference League in 2023 - 2024, pulling on the Ajax jersey each time.
