Squad depthCentre-forward

D. Gjengaar is a 22-year-old centre-forward at New York Red Bulls, rated 42.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 162nd of 436 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer and 968th of 1777 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (40.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.35 goal contributions per 90 (0.23 goals, 0.12 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gjengaar.

Judged on this season alone, Gjengaar graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 45 of the 45 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer, on 2 goals and 1 assist in 21 appearances (0.351 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 10). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, top 40% of the 45 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer. At 22 Gjengaar is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 7.5 reflects that trajectory.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.35 goal contributions per 90 (0.23 goals, 0.12 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.7% 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 42.4, Gjengaar carries the 18th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer of 45 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.35 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
