Scout report
D. van Kaam is a 26-year-old central midfielder at Waalwijk, rated 48.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 27th of 55 on scout potential in the Eerste Divisie. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (59.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.4 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kaam.
Judged on this season alone, Kaam graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 10th of 13 of the 13 central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie, on 1 goal, 3 assists and 1.404 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 19 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, 9th of 13 of the 13 central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie. At 26 Kaam is in his prime years, and a market index of 14.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Waalwijk finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
1.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 59.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.4 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 48.8, Kaam carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie of 13. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
