From the above footage, it is quite clear that Tagliafico is a gifted artist. The Argentine left-back is close to making 100 appearances for the Dutch side. The Amsterdam-based outfit posted Tagliafico's drawing on social media with fans since applauding the Argentine for his hidden talent. 

Just like his drawings, Tagliafico was impressive for Ajax last season. The Dutch club defied expectations to reach the Champions League semi-finals last season. Although their run ended after a dramatic loss to the Spurs, Ajax managed to impress the fans and experts with their exciting style of football under Erik ten Hag.

This season, Tagliafico and Ajax have failed to replicate their form. They were eliminated from the Champions League group stage before being knocked out of the Europe League by Getafe.
