Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

D. Kwakman is a 22-year-old central midfielder at Jong AZ, rated 45.6 overall by Field Insider's model. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (11.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.86 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kwakman.

On the season, Kwakman graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.857 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 15 → 5). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 46. At 22 Kwakman is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 12.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Kwakman missed 6 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 38 this season. The 6 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 20) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 11.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 45.6 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
