Lassina Traore: Ajax forward wins Eredivisie Player of the Month award

Ajax centre-forward Lassina Traore has been announced as the winner of the Eredivisie Player of the Month award for October.

The 19-year-old attacker delivered eye-catching performances in the month under review for the Sons of the Gods.

The forward played a key role as Erik ten Hag’s men secured three consecutive wins against Heerenveen, VVV Venlo and Fortuna Sittard.

Traore was involved in eight goals against VVV, bagging five goals and three assists to help his side clinch a record 13-0 victory in the encounter.

The Burkina Faso international, thus, became one of the top three youngest players with five goals in a single Eredivisie game.
