Mika Godts named Johan Cruyff Talent of the Month for the second time
Mika Godts has been named Johan Cruyff Talent of the Month for the second time this season. The 20-year-old Ajax forward received the award on Thursday at the club’s training complex, De Toekomst.
Four goal involvements and most dribbles
Godts was involved in four goals during February. The Belgian scored twice against Fortuna Sittard and once against N.E.C. Nijmegen. In the match against Fortuna, he also provided an assist for Rayane Bounida. No player in the VriendenLoterij Eredivisie was involved in more goals last month.
In addition, Godts recorded eleven shots, created ten chances and completed the most dribbles in the competition: 29 in total, nine of them successful.

As part of the award, Godts receives a €2,500 cheque on behalf of the VriendenLoterij for the Ajax Foundation. An additional €5,000 will be donated to social projects run by the Johan Cruyff Foundation.
