Ever since joining the club in 2012 from Danish club AaB, Andersen has been regarded as a top prospect, and coach Frank de Boer has tipped him for great success.

He told Danish Tipsbladet,”There is much potential in Lucas,”

He is still making strides, but now has some level what we aim for at Ajax. He has a good technique, he can score goals, is fast and explosive. Physically he still needs work.”

“In a year or two he can be one of the leaders at Ajax.”
