Ajax were very active in the transfer market during the summer transfer window, and it is expected they will look to further strengthen the squad during the winter transfer window as they look to push for the Eredivisie title.

Speaking on what Ajax will do in the market in January, Jordi Cruijff said they may look to make a signing but acknowledged that departures could force them into doing more business.

Various reports claim Ajax will look to sign a left winger. Simon Adingra was signed on loan from Sunderland in the summer with an option to buy, but he has been struggling with an injury and has only made one appearance, which was against NEC Nijmegen in October.

Before signing Adingra, Ajax explored a deal for Noa Lang, and he was reportedly the club's top target to replace Mika Godts. Ajax, however, could not complete a deal for the Dutch winger, reportedly due to Napoli's asking price.

Reports now claim that the Italian club are looking to part ways with Lang in the winter transfer window, but it is unclear whether that is a deal Ajax are considering.

During the summer transfer window, Ajax showed interest in Tetê from São Paulo. At the time, the Amsterdammers reportedly made an offer to sign the winger on loan, with the option to sign him for €10 million. It was claimed at the time that the buy option would become mandatory had certain targets been achieved.

In their search for a new left winger, Ajax are reportedly once again showing interest in Tetê. The 19-year-old can play predominantly on the left, but can also operate on the right.

According to Alexsander Vieira, Ajax is preparing another move for Tetê in January. The Eredivisie club wants to sign him and is considering making an offer of around €10 million.

While Tetê is a promising talent, Ajax need to sign a right winger, and ideally one that can come in and make an immediate impact to help propel Ajax to the title.

Steven Berghuis is a quality player, as is Viktor Tsygankov, although the former Girona player has struggled to find his best form in the early stages of his Ajax career.

Ajax need a right winger who can hold the width and make runs in behind, as neither Berghuis nor Tsygankov are the best at doing that. 

Tetê would be a great signing for the future, but he cannot be the only signing Ajax make in the winter.
