AHMETCAN FROM SUPER LEAGUE AJAXTHE SECOND PLAYER TO TRANSFER
Şota Arveladze, who transferred from Trabzonspor to Ajax in the 1997-98 season with a transfer of 1 million 600 thousand Euros and continued his career in important clubs such as Glasgow Rangers, AZ Alkmaar, Levante, stated that Ahmetcan, who joined the Dutch team at a young age, had a great success.
Stating that Ahmetcan, who went down in history as the second player to be transferred from the Super League to the European giant, has a bright future, Şota Arveladze said that Ajax follows young players from around the world and carefully selects the promising ones.

“DO NOT LEAVE THIS JOB HERE”
Stating that playing in Ajax is an important step in the young player’s career, Arveladze said, “We should congratulate Ahmetcan, his academy, youth coaches and the club. He gave great value and contribution to his team and country. He did a great job. My advice to Ahmetcan is not to leave this job here. Let him not stop his development by saying ‘I was transferred to Europe’. Let him work harder, achieve greater success and make everyone happier. Congratulations to Ahmetcan. Now I’m a fan of him too,” he said.
“IMPORTANT IF AJAX TAKE A 19-Year-Old Child”
Stating that the Dutch team Ajax picked up promising young football players, Arveladze said, “If Ajax took a 19-year-old boy from Trabzonspor, this is important, he would not have bought it if he had not seen the future. He could have bought it from other countries, Brazil, Argentina, but he came and bought it from Trabzonspor. The previous day, Bayern Munich signed 17-year-old Luka Parkadze from Dinamo Tbilisi. I also shared it on my social media. This boy is only 17 years old. This boy brought great value to the club. Just like him, Ahmetcan added value to the country’s football and Trabzonspor. Ahmetcan became the second player to go after me. I hope Ajax gets more players from Turkey,” he said.

“TAKING AHMETCAN WAS A BLESSING FOR AJAX”
Evaluating the selection of both players from Trabzonspor, which Ajax transferred from the Super League, the technical man said, “There are many football players who leave Turkey and go to different clubs in Europe. But good players emerge from Trabzonspor’s infrastructure. If it wasn’t for Ajax, maybe Ahmetcan could have gone to other teams. Ajax is a club that especially chooses young players, it was a blessing for Ajax to get Ahmetcan.”
“IF A GOOD SYSTEM IS ESTABLISHED IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE, MORE PLAYERS WILL BE STARTED”
Arveladze stated that if more importance is given to infrastructure in football, young talents can be brought to the country and world football more, and said, “Such players come out every 10 years in Trabzonspor. If a good system is established, more players will emerge in a shorter time. It comes out first every 5 years, then every 3 years.

It contributes both to the first team, to the club economically, and to the national team. That’s what matters. Everyone says that infrastructure is important, but there is no proper work done on this issue in Turkey. Unfortunately, everyone is chasing points. Our people do not want to wait, they are impatient about it. There are very talented players in Turkey, especially in Trabzon, Sakarya, Izmir and other Black Sea cities. If this kind of work is done properly, if there is a good system, there will be no need to keep talented children waiting. More young people like Ahmetcan are sent to Europe,” he said.
