In their search for attacking reinforcements, Ajax have turned to Ballo, a wideman who recently made his debut for the Austrian national team. โAjax, Rangers, and Mainz are all keeping an eye on Ballo and have inquired about the 23-year-old winger from Wolfsberger AC,โ reports Florian Plettenberg.

Although born in the Ivory Coast, Ballo holds Austrian nationality after being raised there. The striker has been part of the youth academies of LASK, Bayer Leverkusen, and Chelsea in recent years. The West London club loaned him to Rapid Wien in 2021, and eventually saw Ballo make a free transfer to Wolfsberger AC a year later.
Wolfsberger finished the regular season fourth in the Austrian Bundesliga, with Ballo contributing 10 league goals and six assists in 31 matches. According to transfermarkt.com, the one-cap international has a market value of approximately five million euros.
