Ajax is about to capture Mika Godts. According to The newspapaer the Amsterdammers transfer a million euros to KRC Genk for the services of the seventeen-year-old top talent. Godts is on the nomination to regularly join the first team.

Godts, a left winger who can also play as an attacking midfielder, is one of the tastemakers of Jong Genk. In the Challenger Pro League (Belgium’s second level) he scored seven hits and one assist this season Blue White. However, Godts’ contract expires next summer and he was unable to agree on an extension. By selling it now, Genk still has something left over from the growth brilliant, which has not yet made its debut for the first time.

Godts has been playing in Genk’s youth academy since July 2020. Before that he played for Anderlecht. In two years he worked his way up from Genk’s Under 18 to the reserves team, where he immediately turned out to be one of the stars. As a seventeen-year-old, Godts already represents a market value of 800,000 euros Transfer market. With that, he only has to tolerate 33 players worldwide.

It seems that Godts will join Jong Ajax. John Heitinga, who made the move to the first after the dismissal of Alfred Schreuder, mainly alternated in his time with Jaydon Banel and Kristian Hlynsson on the left wing. Amourricho van Axel Dongen was first choice there at the beginning of this season, until he was seriously injured. Sontje Hansen can also play on the left, but he is hardly given any minutes until he extends his expiring contract.
