Barcelona is ready to go for a Belgian left winger from Ajax for 25 million euros this summer; 20-year-old Mika Godts bagged a staggering 27 goal contributions from 29 matches in the Eredivisie this season, which makes him a valuable player for clubs around Europe, including FC Barcelona, as per Mundo Deportivo.
Role profile inside forward from the left
Mika Godts is already gaining recognition in Europe for his exceptional dribbling skills and goal-scoring prowess. Mika is a player who loves to receive balls from the wide left side and drift inside with the ball.
He has a height of 176 cm and a thin frame, which helps him to shield the ball against defenders. He draws defenders to him while he has the ball and tries to break the line with passes; he attempts 0.45 through passes per 90 and successfully completes 0.3 per game.
Tactical versatility across attacking roles
The versatility of Mika Godtz is another attraction for Barca; the player has already played as a left winger, attacking midfielder, and right winger because he is comfortable with both feet and highly creative, as he produces 2.68 chances per 90 and 2.94 successful dribbles per 90.
The player is proactive in winning duels, as he has an average of 5.69 duels won per game.
Affordable deal fits Barcelona strategy
Ajax will be ready to sell the player; around 25 million euros is a major factor here, as Barcelona wants cheaper players who could make an impact. The Catalan giants already have a positive relationship with Ajax, and ex-Barcelona sporting director Jordi Cruyff is working for the Dutch club as sporting director, so connections are there to make a significant move this summer. Jordi Cruyff has been in Catalonia recently, which boosts the possibility of a transfer in the media.
