Watch: Ajax's Brazilian Prodigy Antony Lights Up Dutch League With Insane Skill

Since joining Ajax in 2020, Antony Matheus dos Santos, better known only as Antony, has gone on to become one of Europe's best young players in the ongoing football season. The winger joined the Eredivisie from Sao Paulo and has made the right-wing position his own under Erik ten Hag. During Ajax's recent league win against RKC Waalwijk, Antony once again showed why he is considered as one of the best youngsters in world football. Receiving a pass in the right flank, the 21-year-old showed amazing close control as he dinked the ball over an opposition defender and then even dribbled past their goalkeeper. 

Despite all his hard work, his teammates failed to convert his amazing cross and missed a sitter in a chaotic opposition penalty box. The Dutch outfit shared the highlight on Instagram and captioned it as: "Not just football. It's magic".

Here is the video of Antony's insane skill:
