Scout report

Squad depthFull-back

D. Kasius is a 23-year-old full-back at AZ Alkmaar, rated 67.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 88th of 282 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (39.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.22 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kasius.

Judged on this season alone, Kasius graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 49 of the 49 full-backs in the Eredivisie, on 4 clean sheets and 2.217 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 67, top 35% of the 49 full-backs in the Eredivisie. At 23 Kasius is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 31 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Kasius missed 12 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 17 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

2.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 67.3, Kasius carries the 17th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eredivisie (top 35%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
