Squad depthCreative Winger

A. Smits is a 21-year-old winger at Jong AZ, rated 53.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 96th of 192 on scout potential in the Eerste Divisie and 475th of 1759 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (40.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.53 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.36 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Smits.

Judged on this season alone, Smits graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 12th of 17 of the 17 wingers in the Eerste Divisie, on 2 goals and 4 assists in 28 appearances (0.534 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 21). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 53, 9th of 17 of the 17 wingers in the Eerste Divisie. At 21 Smits is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 14.2 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 28 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.21 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.53 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.36 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.4, Smits carries the 9th-highest potential of the wingers in the Eerste Divisie of 17. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.53 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
