This kid has serious talent in his locker. He turns 18 today and can and will turn into the next big thing if he uses his potential and plays regular football.<\/p>\n
He joined Ajax’s youth system from Zeeburgia in 2010 and has risen through the ranks the past couple of years really excelling in his position.<\/p>\n
In the U17’s, Gravenberch played 21 games, scoring an impressive 11 goals and assisting on two occasions. Then he made the step up to U19 football making 20 appearances and scoring four goals and assisting four times. U21 football followed with that being his best spell making over 40 appearances at that level for Ajax whilst scoring eight goals and getting 13 assists in the process.<\/p>\n
In Septemeber 2019, the midfielder signed his professional contract for Ajax and has slowly started creaping into the side gaining minutes and experience along the way. He’s made 14 appearances so far for Ajax scoring four times and assisting once.<\/p>\n
Gravenberch has played at every level up to U19 for the Netherlands and will soon possibly get his first cap for the senior team if his form follows and he continues to work hard for Ajax.<\/p>\n
He’s won the Eredivise and the Dutch Cup with Ajax’s senior team, he won the Dutch league for the U17 and he’s won the European U17 Championships with Netherlands.<\/span><\/p>\n[columns]<\/span>
