Ajax will play lower tier side Quick 20 in a mini friendly, before high profile matches against Paderborn, Anderlecht and Bayern Munich.

Black Stars midfielder, Kudus Mohammed enjoyed a decent first season in Holland, winning the League and Cup double.

Although he had issues with injuries, he was voted the best U-21 player in the Dutch topflight league last season.

The Nima-born player joined Ajax last summer in a mouthwatering deal, and repaid the club with outstanding performances which saw him win three King of the Match awards in 17 games.

Kudus scored four goals, providing three assists in the Eredivisie last season.

The Right to Dream Academy graduate has developed into an important player for the Black Stars, with his goal against South Africa in Johannesburg sealing AFCON qualification for the West African giants.
