Scouting Report & Player Insights
Anton Gaaei is a Danish right-back at Ajax, signed from Viborg as an athletic, front-foot full-back with pace and a strong engine. His early period in Amsterdam was rocky, with high-profile defensive mistakes during Ajax's turbulent 2023-24 campaign, and he has since fought to establish himself as a dependable squad option. His game is built on overlapping runs, early crossing and willing pressing rather than refined build-up play.
Came through at Viborg FF before earning a move to Ajax in 2023.
Endured a difficult debut Ajax season marked by publicised defensive errors, including being substituted early in a high-profile match.
Has represented Denmark at youth international level.
