Ajax make new signing write phrase 100 times in punishment Football Kjell Scherpen criticised the club on social media when he was younger

Ajax have jokingly punished their new signing Kjell Scherpen for criticising the club on social media when he was younger.

The goalkeeper, who was a Feyenoord fan growing up, was forced to write 'Ajax are the best club in the Netherlands' 100 times by senior figures Edwin Van der Sar and Marc Overmars.

The punishment resembles the one that Mrs Krabappel gives Bart Simpson in the American cartoon show The Simpsons.
