Super Eagles striker, Tolu Arokodare, says he is determined to be a regular at his new club, Ajax.
The striker came off the bench in Ajax’s 2-0 Eredivisie victory away to PEC Zwolle on Sunday.
Arokodare provided the assist for the opening goal and helped Ajax finish a difficult away match with three points.
“We did not start the match perfectly, but we finished the game the way we wanted, with the win and the two goals.
“It was also nice to have an assist, to come on and help the team. I enjoyed fighting together with the boys,” Arokodare who joined the Dutch side from Wolves told Ziggo Sport via Voetbalprimeur.
Arokodare admits he wants to play from the start, but he says that personal ambition cannot always come before the team’s needs.
“Of course, I want to start every game and play as much as possible.

“But sometimes there are things that are bigger than the wishes of an individual player.
“Sometimes the team comes first, sometimes there are tactical decisions and sometimes there may be physical reasons. You never know.
“I was allowed to come on, I helped the team and we won.
“If I have to do that for the whole season, I will do my best. If I am allowed to start, I will also do my best.
“Whatever I have to do to help the team and myself, I will do it.
“I just want to win matches and score goals. I think every striker wants that,” the former Genk striker who scored during Ajax’s 3-1 pre-season victory over FC Volendam said.
