Last week, Ajax Amsterdam officially announced that it will not offer a contract to Nigeria Under 20 international Moses Daddy - Ajala Simon despite the player signing a preliminary contract with the Dutch club back in May.<br /><br />There had been suggestions that former Ajax winger and retired Nigeria international Tijani Babangida introduced Simon to the four - time European champions.<br /><br />Now, Babangida, 39 , has distanced himself from those reports, but admitted that he gave positive recommendations on the player when inquiries were made from Holland.<br /><br />'' A journalist that works for Ajax Amsterdam&nbsp; did call to ask me about Moses Simon. , what I think of him.<br /><br />'' Of course I had to reply positively about him even though to be honest I knew very little about this player.<br /><br />'' Very few teams play with wingers these days. It's part of the Ajax philosophy. So any information about any winger, they will like to crosscheck it.<br /><br />'' Since the player was in the squad to the Under 20 World Cup, Ajax was supposed to sign him, not to invite him for trials.<br /><br />'' Maybe they just wanted to see if he can fit into their system of play as they were not prepared to wait for him to come of age<br /><br />'' If I see any player that will fit into Ajax, the doors are always open for me to tell them. But I am not involved in transfers,'' says Babangida to <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>.<br /><br />The Taraba United chairman repeatedly stated that he had no hand in the movement of Nigerian players - Ahmed Musa, Michael Uchebo, Uche Nowfor and Alex Emenike&nbsp; - to Holland, specifically VVV Venlo, whom he represented from 1991 - 93.<br /><br />'' Not at all. I did not play any part in the transfers of those players,'' Babangida said.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Moses Daddy - Ajala Simon returned to Nigeria on Thursday morning, 24 hours after it was revealed that he did not bag a contract with Ajax Amsterdam.<br /><br />Photo Credit : ajaxlife.nl<br />
