Scout report
C. Leemans is a 30-year-old central defender at NAC Breda, rated 32.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 247th of 284 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (44.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.82 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Leemans.
Judged on this season alone, Leemans graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 49 of the 49 centre-backs in the Eredivisie, on 3 clean sheets and 2.817 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 25 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 41st of 49 of the 49 centre-backs in the Eredivisie. At 30 Leemans is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · NAC Breda finished 17th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 32.6, Leemans carries the 41st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eredivisie of 49, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (NAC Breda finished 17th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
