Scout report
M. Chávez is a 22-year-old full-back at AZ Alkmaar, rated 66.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 41st of 159 on scout potential in the Eredivisie and 124th of 1757 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 7.4 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Chávez.
Judged on this season alone, Chávez graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 18th of 29 of the 29 full-backs in the Eredivisie, on 2 clean sheets and 7.402 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 22 → 22). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 67, top 38% of the 29 full-backs in the Eredivisie. At 22 Chávez is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 29.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · AZ Alkmaar finished 7th of 18 · a mid-table side
7.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 7.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 27.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 66.6, Chávez carries the 11th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eredivisie of 29 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (7.4 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. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
