Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

G. Nauber is a 34-year-old central defender at GO Ahead Eagles, rated 14.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 78th of 78 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.48 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nauber.

Judged on this season alone, Nauber graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 12 of the 12 centre-backs in the Eredivisie, on 2 clean sheets and 2.478 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 12th of 12 of the 12 centre-backs in the Eredivisie. At 34 Nauber is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 14.2, Nauber carries the 12th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eredivisie of 12 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
